Candles and coffee

by Sneak - Virgo

Are you,
That first faint breath of a welcoming morn ?
Some traveling spark, when suns die from the cold ?
Have you,
Cradled a laugh mortally wounded by indifference ?
Flung open buildings so your passion might better spread ?
Were you,
Etched love in park bench rain ?
Keenly cut by the fade of a log burning the night ?
.
Questions that come in the quiet,
Soft candles flanking a march of introspection,
Warm mellows of coffee glowing in my throat,
And I feel you here,
Mere glimpses that are mine to enchant,
Set to dancing near to my heart,
Sweet, the sway of ghosts heavy on the air.
.
I have chased your glow since the first fall away,
Of gentle fingers caressing my neck,
Seen the shadow of a giant, cast over communion,
In a shared smile, nothing need ever be confessed.
And a thousand other silken threads raveling through.
You see,
I think I know you,
Just not your name, face, voice.
Your tendrils are inside me, seeding with a patient slow-time hand,
And they grow as the circles move ever inwards,
Some secrets were always sung with wonder.
But until that final spring,
Beyond the hushed footsteps,
I will keep company with the futures,
In these quiet moments,
Of candles and coffee.
