Love Poem: The Glowing

The Glowing

I wait by the mine
Outside the camp.
Between us, the pinyons
Slash and partition
Your fire, like fence posts.
They keep me at bay.

Here in the shadows, 
I think I know you.
But, in the flame of life, 
You dance with all.
I won't be to you
One other to twirl.

If you should feel
The pull of the silence, 
The call of a private heart, 
You'll venture beyond
The grove of sentries.
Then we together
Might prospect for gold.
