From softest ember she imbues Her light in shades of reds and blues Flickering ‘round the nimble mind Daring you, her heart to find. Light that warms, yet doth kill Fascination at her will Tame her? There is a doubt She’s only yours when she is out Warm your hands on her smile But beware of her wile She will woo you closer in Envelope you within her sin Saddened then, at her demise Blackened in her cold dead eyes Mastery of her passionate ire Douse you now, this passion’s fire. |

my hands were warming just reading the lines. When you're hot you're terrific but when you are on fire you just "Burn me up" I ought to come back here more often just to keep up with your work! |

With all the fires burning in the west and your ability to turn a headline into a thought-provoking treasure, I was expecting something totally different. *S* But the pre-conceived notions fled without protest... this is great!!! |

So, Where did you study Fire Behavior Ms Devine?... As is always the case, another outstanding poem. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Just the way I like em! You've written an awesome poem! Truly the fire does captivate one. Long as it's one you sit by. Excellence! <*\\\>< The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you. |

Excellent Sharon! What a beautiful flow, and the imagery was electric! Much enjoyed this heated verse I did ('scuse me now while I go grab the extinguisher ... there's some smoke coming out the back of my monitor?) Best wishes, /Kit |

Really good-hot. Liked the build up, till you tried to drown her (the fire). |

The heat of passion out of control is truely one to be contained. You have done well with the imagery and of course in turning the forum up a notch or two. Wonderful read as always. |
