I burn for you like coals of the forest,
bright orange wires curling in soil.
I burn for you like the night-closing sky,
spilling colors like bowls of marbles.
I burn for you like the quiet of ache,
sizzling wax at the head of a candle.
I burn for you like every ugly word
I try to make beautiful for you.

I burn for you like the end of a dream,
turning grey, then bright as dawn.
I burn for you like a bulb of light
illuminating words in scaling texture.
I burn for you like the edge of the sea,
erasing the sand with white, strong hands.
I burn for you in the distance that takes
the closing of our passion, rekindles what breaks.

And I burn for you like the last kissed note
I bend to place on your eyes, and your throat.
I see limned within your eyes
that you burn for me fast as flame, dawning sky.

Oh what a lovely, romantic poem, Mr.Squirrel.
You make me proud to be a rodent... although I could never be in the same class as you...
poetically, that is....
