Waiting

Waiting

Waiting... then feeling
a sensuous arrival,
lighting the kindling
inside the hearth of a
long-deserted home.

An addition of timber,
brewing a passion that
speaks in knotted riddles
and teases with sparks that
impose a delightful burn.

An elusive possibility,
awakening the senses with
a breath of nearing warmth,
restless and wondering
if the fire will ever ignite.

Things I write during the day... "Sweetheart, please don't draw on the wall." Things I write at night... The colors swept across the wall in long, misplaced lines. A rainbow borrowed from the sky. ~ Janie Ruth Ryals
