Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Burning Embers
Come linger with me in the inglenook
while we cuddle by the crackling fire
reading love sonnets from a tattered book
as flames and words stoke our burning desire
With fiery eyes reflecting ardor for one another
We kiss– setting our thumping hearts aflutter
