Glow

...dedicated to 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,
'til stars rescind 
their luster to the dawn.

Masterfully done, Keith!! Of the Nine muses I think that 'Erato' is one that has the hardest time leaving your side! Yet others would still frequent you.:) Beautifully done, Keith! Love, Mikki
