What better day than Valentine’s Day to share a bit of poetry. I don’t write a lot of poetry, and certainly don’t consider myself a poet, but every once in a while, words come to me in a pattern. I hope you enjoy!
Flame
tended well
it brings comfort
provides fortification
sustenance
it can hypnotize
mesmerize with brilliance
embrace with warmth
excite with heat
but it demands respect
must be treated with care
its tendrils can reach up
singe
bring pain
burn until one cannot draw breath
its intensity
searing
bringing unimaginable agony
complete destruction
but doused
its loss leaves us chilled
cold
hungry
dangerous yet necessary
love
A Play on Words 
Great poem Dody! 🙂
