Unforeseen, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

The sparks
Turn into embers
Rising to engulf
Wildfires
Abandon touch
Carful approach
That danced
At first
Delicately
Like a flickering candle
Underestimated
Tipped over
Igniting passion.
(end)

Not a poem about any specific life event, but one about the unexpected romance one didn’t see coming.
