Burning Desire. 2 x  Short Poems.

1.

Burning Desire, your hearts; on fire!

You are waiting for him coming.

Is that him there? Heart beats higher.

No, that’s not him. Emotions draining.

2.

The toddlers’ burning ambition is

to walk. Holding both of mums hands

he totters across the room. Then,

Bump, he bounces down to the carpet.

Mum hauls him back onto his feet.

Now with daddy sitting in the chair,

holding his arms out to his son.

An anxious mum nervously lets

their precious toddler, take his

first steps unaided….

Straight into daddys’;

waiting arms.
