Flicker in Tender How can I hold you in my palm? How can I pretend to be calm? Like a whisper in tender, Softly, is the finest balm. Fingers, elegantly roaming Body, gently rolling Sweet, a kiss in tender Tears, silently roiling…… Watch me dance When you feel low My flare waltzing in brilliance For you I glow! ……then…… Burned up……ashes in calm Cinder, held in your palm Like a flicker in tender Grieving in the ancient psalm. | |||
