Today's Poem:
KINDLING
You stoke desire like a magic wand
brushing at the air, commanding
obedience and getting it, every time.
But in the aftermath, flames
of sapped Kleenex litters the
floor and once more
its you against me
with a pane of mirrored glass
standing between us.
This sparkle in your eye
is the torch laden on my heart,
the person I vow to undress
and re-clothe in righteousness.
See, therein lies the issue
of fire vs tissue:
All at once—both will be consumed
because a blood-red love
cascades from above
to unearth the dirt and stain,
pause to remain and resume
this life in greater light.
