About This Poem

Kindle and Quench

Your touch plugs me in,
Lights my body from within,
Fills my veins with liquid light 
Till my dormant heart ignites
To be moulded like blown glass -
An urn to hold this cooling ash.

    I see you won one of Debbie's contests with this one. I can see why...it's Electric!...hot and cold too. It's talent to be able to capture someone with only a few lines. To your question...It' been a long time ago that I was in Nova Scotia. It was a family trip when I was young. We went to a national park. I think it was Highland Nat. Park...does that sound right? Anyway, it was beautiful and I saw a moose for the first and only time since!
