Simpson & Co

Porch Swing

Rocking
in the warm night,
glow of the city in the distance.
Light dances in the dark heavens,
lending a sense of unrest --
igniting our unspoken
............conversation
into fireworks,
......conflagration, flame.
Your touch
tells all -- smoldering
embers of bitter and sweet vie
for attention
but
it is
only the sweet
that lingers as I pull you close
to share a
............(spark)
stolen moment of intimacy
and electricity
on the porch swing
