Space heater PSDS

Waking up in a cold shiver 

I miss mere radiant heat 

Tender warmth with no touch 

A heartfelt presence 

One of those few times 

Space creates too much room 

All I want do is get up close 

To the glowing elements again 

Compelled to feel from a far 

Far from burning proximity

Far since once upon a time

Far in the back of my mind 

Perhaps it’s better this way 

Flickering candles and lingering heat

But honestly 

I just want to catch on fire

Sometimes
