Bonfire Still darkness drapes An icy silken wrap, Enveloping snugly, As leaping flames Illuminate the virginal Velvety snow of her cheeks, And cinders, though veiled, Continue to stroke and smoulder…
Into the breathless silence The mountain stream gurgles, Unable to contain its delight, Skipping over smoothened Pebbles within its fold, And splashing daintily its bank, Pleading to be set free On its journey to consummation…
The smiles that spill Stroke and fan the blaze, Making slow heat spiral high, Setting sparks soaring and leaping To scorch the swaying arbour, Till the silver of the moon Is blocked and red-gold heat Blankets the magical world of their eyes… ~Glowing Embers~ |
