Tender Tinder
So recently, and yet a time agone,
Our tender tinder nestled, unremarked.
By flinty sense, conclusions seemed forgone
But no-- a glint of something else was sparked.
With Winter all around us growing colder
To perigee of Solstice in December
How lowly did it linger small and smolder,
While we ignored the light within the ember?
And then
a wind upon our kindling blew.
Recurling wafts of passion rose like smoke,
Incensing us
Igniting what we knew
And from that ash, bright tongues of fire spoke
Our flaming hearts are hearths that burn and beat;
My Sweet, the mountains melt before our heat.

Figured you'd show up after Tex started talking about his panties.
To: Sabertooth
I thought that was our little secret....
To: Victoria Delsoul
Your poem embodied the spirit of romanticism it's captivating, brilliant, daring and dissolute.
Wow. Thanks, Victoria, truly.
But "dissolute?"
How about wanton?

Speaking of boats did you ever hear the song by Judy Garland entitled, "Make Believe/Who Cares If My Boat Goes Upstream" from the album, "Till the Clouds Roll By?"
If you don't have it you should.
