Singed

Singed!


Dare I divulge the depth of my desperate desire for this sweet, doting mademoiselle?

When wayward words wander like weighted wisps of wanting, while I wait in loneliest hell.

Oh if I could only tell her that her lush lips linger in my longing long after she departs.

She’d probably consider it crazy that I cringe and coil from any coy attempts at cohesion to my heart.

How I’ve wanted to tell her that her sparkling eyes speak to a sweet, slow, song saturating my solemn soul.

Her warm embrace holds the harrowing hounds of hell at bay, and hide my hapless heart from a world so cold.

But these big walls tower to protect a precious organ already broken, battered and bruised beyond biblical belief.

My surest strategy for surviving the next firestorm is structured on securing my priceless heart from such a sensual thief.

If she examined the scorched remnants closely, she would see the blisters, bruises and burns that brought bewildered love to its end.

I would fervently ask her to forgive my frightened, feeble flight from fire…my heart is a sepsis…I’ve been singed!
