Scorched In My Heart

Scorched My Heart

You scorched my heart,
In small corners laughter lives,
light phrases that dance through
dark
        places
                   illuminating
                                         candles....
                                   oh how
                   you shake
foundations,
feebly protected.

Your voice dances through
my dazed thoughts,
hazed vision, with your eyes:
glimmers,
                   mischievous
                                          marbles,
                       bicoloured, 
forever etched
amid little wrinkles, silvery spun
in a web of evermoving mystery

the tips of my fingers know
your skin ticklish giggled
Oh how you stamped
small
         imprinted
                          signatures,
              everywhere,
permanently.
