Fire
Fire is beautiful
Mesmerizing to look at
If you get close
Fire will warm you all over
But if you allow yourself to get
Too close, fire will burn you
And if you should fall
Head over heels into fire
You will be consumed
. . . and she was fire
Mesmerizing to look at
If you get close
Fire will warm you all over
But if you allow yourself to get
Too close, fire will burn you
And if you should fall
Head over heels into fire
You will be consumed
. . . and she was fire

Author's Note
She was fire. Too hot to handle so I had to let her burn while I smoldered until my flame was out.

Wonderfully expressed, seed. I really like how you used fire as an analogy for your love... just beautiful! In my most recent poem, I made a similar comparison. You should check it out if you get a chance...

Thank you very much NB. I read your poem, Love Is Tinder, very nice! I didn't use fire, but check out my poem, Twice Warmed, to see a different direction with a somewhat similar analogy (kinda/sort of). Thanks for the read!
Cheers!
Cheers!
