Burgundy Fireworks
He thinks of the spaces between her words
Where comfortable silence stokes his anticipation
At first, he hears just the surface of her words
With the meaning’s complexity hidden below
She languidly floats out the word “burgundy”
Accompanied by a knowing mischievous giggle
His curiosity piqued – a desire to understand
The emotional fireworks she sparks with a simple word
His searches for the meaning to her word
During his silence she teases, “Don’t you like burgundy?”
She paints in the word with vibrant colors
Images form of the breeze, laughter, feathers, generosity
He smiles as the beautiful mystery starts to unfold
Emotional fireworks explode between the spaces of her words
She is burgundy …
