fireworks

You started with sparklers,
lit by one kiss
softly given,
that made something in me
shine
sparkling in the night
leaving a ghost trail
on my half parted lips,
Then you moved on to bottle rockets
and held me close
so I would not fear
the report,
the whiz,
or the flash.
Next it was roman candles,
each shot a small thrill
knowing another would follow,
and now my love,
you offer a ground rocket,
and reach out to steady my fingers,
when i touch flame to wick
then hide in your arms,
afraid to look away
for even an instant.
I don't want to miss
one single damned moment
of the light show
you make in my heart.
