Invited 55

An invitation in a dream
smoky and alluring
heard with ears hungry
for affection
a spark catching in
the tinder of one heart
catching
spreading
roaring
until
heat-to-toe
the invited feels
awash in flame
afire with yearning
alive with the gift
of being
desired
just six words:
"Close the door and come here."
