you danced into my life
like a firefly welcoming the
spring from a cold stark winter
alone yet full of you
I am like a river
cascading over the precipice to become a waterfall
not caring what may lie around the bend
knowing you are with me
and thus empowered I can conquer
and though I envelope you in my arms
I take shelter in your embrace
closing my eyes I see your face
and have to come up for air
I feel your soft lips pressed to mine
and you are still there
your sultry voice echoing in my ears like a dream
and I am inspired
you are what you seem
with each revelation in you
adding fuel to the fire
white hot yet cool to my touch
and I want to take you higher
I welcome you into my room
like the sunlight on a cool summer morning
ever embracing the chance
to explore the mystery of you
as the shadow doubt crosses your brow
like a cloud to block the sun
I will be there giving heat to the sun
and burn through
with sincerity and passion
burning to cinder all that may come between us
the avatar made servant
under the yolk of your casual glances
Though it may be too risky
flying so high on uncertain wings
I'll take my chances
far above the casual acquaintance
like a phoenix I catch fire and gather speed to fly higher
knowing that in this moment the song in my breast is you.

*fans self* ohhhhhhh my!

That is beautiful!

Do you mean Cyrano? Does that mean you can create a poem while fencing?

With merry undulations and thrustings of word and sword I would welcome challengers.

Yes, you named this quite well. Mission accomplished! May your Roxanne appreciate it.

nay sadly my Roxanne flees from my gaze still,
but the sweet kiss of her name does soften my lips
and quicken my heart in earnest I stay vigil.

nice poem.

Thank you

a broad smile came that you responded so, I bow and offer an imaginary flower
