Love Poem: Can?

Can?

can my kiss be the match that lights your flame?
makes it burn white hot in the dark of night?
can you warm yourself by the intensity?
a combustible fuel coursing through your body?

can my touch send shivers down your spine?
reawakening and rewriting our history?
has it incinerated down to smoke and ash?
can we compose the happily ever after to this song?

can you read my mind and figure it out?
is there any chapters left that you haven't read?
will you ask me to dance and before the music is through
will you ask me to dance over and over with you?
