Glow

...for D.H. Lawrence


Sit by the fire my love
   and let its flare
caress you softly,
      soft as the 
suggestion of my touch
  
fluttering gently on your 
   skin yet slowly
fading, as frail embers 
   quit their glow 
      and sputter cold.
  
My passion shall o'ercome 
   flame's waning appetite 
and keep you warm,
      till stars rescind 
   their luster to the dawn.

Congrats Keith on "Glow" being featured. Sort of reminds me of an old Irish folk song "After all these Years." Vince
