Song of your flame

Poets and Storytellers United asked us to share 14 loving words, or words about love – any kind of love, for anyone or anything.

Far did I extend that invitation, as my mind drifted to much younger years when my flame of love danced. so may this love poem wander into all romantic souls

Song of your flame

I love you!
When you are with me,
love rests like a spider’s nest
nestled deep in my stomach,
your stroke stirs countless spiders
to dance in ecstasy

You guide me to a sky
cushioned with silver clouds
above lupine-lined, milky roads.
Like a string on an instrument,
your touch wakes me into song.

I catch whispers from your heart in the wind
and keep them in the net of my longing,
so I feel you forever.

Your voice is strung with starlight,
your words mystic poetry,
making raindrops dream
of an eternal downpour of love.

Your presence hums in my mind like a melody.
Together, my mundane life transforms,
driving me into trenches of exuberance.

Your flame fills the room with light,
warms me, wraps me in delight.
Never leave me
I would die a thousand deaths,
my aching heart drifting on airwaves
to the deepest, darkest corners of the universe.

Oh, I love you
a song still rising in the flame.
