My love, I will follow
This warm fire
In your hands...

The cold the lamps

queue their

Betwixt fire and you

     like stones
across a void....

Frolicking 'neath moon's light,

Fireflies humming at lamps, 
Fireflies' soft lullaby, 
Fairyland's call, don't cry, 
Fireflies guard you all night....

but fiery words can slam the mad red door            
anger heating
couple’s room
knifed words
rage...
