WHO IS MY MATCH

Who is my match?
Where is my match?
That is the catch

Where is my match
      so the fire can catch
      from a spark
      to a flash
      to a hearth
      wood burning to ash

But who is my match?
Where is my match?
That is the catch

The wood is stacked high
      row upon row
the hearth fire is set

But where
      is my match?
who
      is my match?
when
      will a spark catch
      to light up the dark?

There's wood for three years
      dry, ready to light
Where is the match?
That is the catch

My door's open wide
I wait for a spark
for the match
so the fire will catch
   the flame will take hold
   the kindling will crackle
     the wood will catch
                     fire

But where is my match?

The wood could be sold
My home could stay cold
The hearth could stay dark
      without a spark

But my door's open wide
      to welcome inside
      the one who's my match
      so the fire will catch

And then
more than one match
      to keep the fire lit
      to keep the fire stoked

for a house to live in
for a life that's been given
      a spark
      to pass through its dark

Loneliness Poems.
Who is my match, so the fire can catch,
from a spark, to a flash.
Elsa, I get so lonely, sick of being lonely.
Poems Loneliness. Poems on Life. Spoken Words Poetry.





Love your "Who Will Be My Match?" poem.
I think most of us wonder??? The thing is, matches burn out
and we have to work to relight them or use a new one.
Like friendships and lovers, sadly, often, they are here with us
for a reason/season. Some are the lucky ones,
who seem to have partnered with a "forever" mate.

A dozen years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
