You unlocked my heart and invited me in You whispered so slightly That tickled my ear 'A little spark kindles a great fire within' Once you got the blaze going Deep in my soul That tickled down to my toes Delve into all my being, This night I realized You are my hint of sherry My cup of loneliness With lots of steadying breaths of regrets My hand reached towards heaven Waiting for the spark I will receive .... ___________________________________________ *The spark that kindles the fire in you Was lit by the gust of wind That kissed your soul sighing Igniting the embers that were dying You failed to see or feel… The flame of eternal love Was what the heavens threw Fusing your nights into mine, As my fingers reached to grab your sadness The knuckles and digits entwined, The sherry, your cup of loneliness, I took away… Spilling each blood’s droplet of mine I was there each dawn, When you woke seeking a brightened morn, You missed what that little leaf saw Laughed over…smiled That drop of dew glistened in my presence In that little droplet of rain that formed the rainbow I arched over you, protecting you so tall!!
