Touched By Your Flame

I was dull and unassuming Head down as I walked Lifted my chin with your finger We drank coffee and talked Talked of silly things that gave pleasure In our childhood and beyond Memories that I will always treasure Think a friend I have found As children we sat together In primary school were very close Grew up drifted apart, thought forever As a teenager felt very morose Now I am smiling, we are together Friends indeed, more might come about Now I bless each day I wake up Smile fixed on face wanting to shout This is the flame that burns within me Touch of our fingers and we alight Never give up on hopes and longings Everything will soon turn out alright.

It's amazing the effect old or we'll say past relationships of any kind, can create such a new found pleasure. I guess they allow us to live in the past and create or renew a bond we never desired to break. Great work, I hope your new found hope gains momentum and leads to the other wishes and your longing is overcome or realized that is. My main hope is that your storms are passed. Sorry I haven't commented sooner.

I like the metaphors, the double entendre the descriptive narratives, I even liked the coffee, that suggestive note that the flame heated the coffee, the fingering, it was all very delightful, this poem is a treasure!!!!
