that lovely night
when suddenly
you put your hand
upon my knee
and later
snuggled up under
my paw around your shoulder
a gentle flame sprang into life
from dormant embers
when afterward the two of us
were rocking to a softer tune
than music would us have
(we never made it
to the dancing floor)
the brilliance of your eyes
shone through your flying hair
the flame leaped high
and built a wall
hard but transparent
completeness was
within
