The fireplace A focal point I'd designed the house The entire architecture Around it Even the staircase Spectacular in itself Built to focus on the Source of flames But for what Three years in design Discarded sketches A thousand erasures What part of a loving space Makes one feel welcome Imagine a ceiling Three stories above you A raised circular firebed Surrounded by sunken seating To carry away the smoke A huge shallow cone Of steel hovers above the bed Hung from a tube Soaring up through the roof Yet, as much as this Commands the eyes You know though it Could sit a dozen plus My pen works for two So I design as always Only for you The first duty of love is to listen. |

Puts one in the mind of a grand old Frank Lloyd Wright home, expressive, charming, and so seductive! A very wonderful read, thank you! |

I'm sorry - finances prvent me from building this multimillion dollar home - and i lack the computer skill to create the plans for viewing here- (but then you don't get to 'see' the object of my affection either) suffice to say I thank you - I greatly appreciate your responses |

As much as I love fireplaces, I love the ending to this poem even more. *S* "My pen works for two So I design as always Only for you"... Who could ask for more? *S* Well done! |
