Mr. Toasty

Like lightning that stretches across the desert sky

You lit up the sky on the darkest night

My mouth watered and my heart was cryin

Not enough water though, to put out your fire...

When you set the hills ablaze with your smile

Drilling holes through my heart with those laughing eyes

Leaking droplets could not quench the thirsty drought

Which I could have avoided had I thought to doubt

Your call through the night that set the desert aflame

With this ravaging fire that my heart dares not tame

But it cries, and it tries to quell the desire

Not enough water though, to put out this fire

and so I burn

ashes to ashes 

us to us

love for one is

never enough

3/31 Just read this again, remembering the day I met him and the way he set my world on fire. It was years before the smoldering dissipated. I still remember. I remember all of the excitement and heat, the dizzying, magical spell I was cast in. Now it's a fond memory. But my heart remembers the intoxication. What I'll never know is why. How do we fall like that? I have fallen again, since, but now I know just to enjoy it. Love is a wonderful gift to enjoy, not to be taken lightly, and not to be owned. Like a rushing breeze it comes, and it goes. Lucky is when we find that front that sticks around for quite awhile. Maybe we get smart enough to follow it.
