New beginning.

Think of me as a spark.
A beginning of a fire that will add light
And not take away life.
Nourish me when I come, held close to your heart.
Let me listen to your life beat,
Let me find solace and peace
And my own, soft body before I leave yours.

Think of me as a spark.
Do not fear me when I come.
I represent a change you cannot foresee.
I bring fears and anxiety to your surface,
I start such emotions and passion in your chest,
I mirror failings and breaks in your eyes.
An uncertainty in self follows me.
But I bring a warmth you cannot foretell.

Your eyes will look into mine
And your delicacy will scare me.

I’ll think of you as a spark.
The start of a new thread,
tied tight to a still-green, freshly constructed loom.
I am used to my own tapestry;
the colours are familiar and comforting.
And by then so pleased with my recent addition;
The pattern intertwining so deeply with mine.
I will grow accustomed to your shade;
The shiny-bright new beauty born from my own hue.

I’ll think of you as a spark.
A beginning of a fire that will add light
And bring me such warmth.
I will nourish you when you come, held close to my heart,
And when I meet you
Your eyes will look into mine
And your delicacy will scare me.
But I promise not to look away.

  2. I love the cadence of this poem and the use of repetition. It is a well-balanced love poem in terms of warmth and distance.
