Fire

Sparks of passion ignite
A fever now hot as coals
Desires that are steaming  hot
Rising from the cauldron  within
Fire that  rages out of control
Pulsating with heat that cannot be quenched
Burning loins aching to explode
Eyes reflecting  a flame that burns white

We dance amongst the  flames
Rising and falling with their crimson glow
Moving rhythmically in sultry fashion
Melting into this hot bath of love
No extinguishing this fire now
Atomic rumblings shake from our core
Explosion of two that are now one
Molded forever by this  fire of desire!

I don't see any particular problems with this poem although you might want it to go to the Adult forum if only because you might get a stronger response there -- if you want this switched, just e-mail me or tell me here.  Honestly, erotica doesn't  usually work for me (that said, I just read a short story by Haruki Murakami that did -- anybody else read him?).  Um, I think you can expand the coal image further -- I was thinking of walking on hot coals and how that is now known to be scientically possible, a sort of playing with the devil kind of thing. Sorry but 'atomic rumblings' has just gotta go -- unless you were shooting for a comic piece.

Just an opinion,
Brad

Hello Brad!!

Thank you for your candid and frank opinion. I figured the writing would come under "FIRE"!!!  But I guess reading some of the other posts........especially of late (mostly discusions I have viewed)..... I figured there might be some open minds, since it was done under what I would consider a tasteful adult mindset!!  But since I am "new" I will take to heart your advice and take this "sort of erotica?? to the other area's of your post.  Yes, I might sound a little brash.....I guess it is because I felt this was and "open" forum that understood all aspects of humanity  could express  without offending in dignity.  I am sorry if what I have written in adulthood has done so.  I just felt the same fervor about passion, as any other issue we might write about!!!! Thank you for your consideration and rebuke.

It's no coincidence he's known as "The Ogre" Philip.  

But, Illusion, don't feel rebuked. It's just that this forum is open to anyone and some of our members may be underage or for other reasons erotic stuff may not be really appropriate for them. Geez, I can't believe I'm defending Brad here.

sufficiently sublime in their simplicity --
