Love Poem: Rekindled

Rekindled

From the front porch swing I swung and stared
The sun was then setting and my eyes were glued
A shadowy, scented presence then wandered in front
My eyes were taken from the sun, were then upon you

I felt urges within me that I couldn’t hold back
I needed you, wanted you… forget about the sun
I wanted to show you the love there in my heart
I wanted it displayed for you…and everyone

Then sun then was down and darkness prevailed
The moon’s luminescence then brightened the view
I still couldn’t look up at the beauty of the heavens
My heart had stopped beating, my eyes were on you

My hands, though years had passed, still shook every time
They got near to your skin, to feel your soft touch
Sweat poured from me at the very thought of the loving
That moment was there, we need each other so much

Love, like a flame, can go out but always can come back
Rekindling thoughts are what makes it live, generating fire
Seeing you then, that brief moment, that one time
Gave us what we needed and rekindled the desires
