Love's Glow.

Love's Glow.

The advent of love warms frozen soreness
in all stony hearts.
Its melt-down uncovers the edges of icy
unreadiness and
transforms cold into smiles more worthy
of receiving sweet
moments of yield as love's benign freedom
fans to high heated
flame that which once taken hold will never
again allow frosty
defeat to block out future reaching for bliss.

Experience the feel
of love's fateful kiss and give its fire a chance
to liquify previous snow
for love's glow needs nothing more than slow
stoking with gratitude's
coals for it knows those sparks of happiness
will warm wintery shock
as they roast away any petrified heart-chill.
