In the Blue

It is true, then ~

I fit my design
and sign
and shall not resign
these facts to fate
but revel in
the unveiling of
blueness

that hottest part
of the fire

not seen for the reds
yellows nor
even for whitest
part

that bit of blue that comes
from within the flame

that which becomes the
passionate, most intense
emotion
leaving embers
of belief
behind.

Would you?

Could you reach in
to touch the blue
as it is unveiled
to you?

Taught as a child that
fire burns

and seeing only that
which one
sees,

flesh, bone,
desire?

Would then come the fire?

Would you revel in the
unveil of the
blue?

Can you stare at the flame
and go away
without the
imprint
still on your mind

behind your eyes

feeling the warm?

In the blue, then,
that is where
I reside

look carefully…

I am there…

Karilea, such a beautiful poem. And I love the way it is written, too. My favorite color is blue, too. Thanks for sharing.

Love to All,
Ethel

So..this is a rhetorical moth question? rofl ...

"Taught as a child that
fire burns"

I must have missed that lesson

Ok...seriously now...you do know how cool this poem is, right?
and...you know its a IWIHWT....

I'm looking, but I see a fire extinguisher close at hand, and I'm afraid you'd use that too! lol

awesome write! i loved how you wrote this,
almost as a challenge or dare to turn away.
the blue flame draws us in time and time
again, and some of us are much to weak to
resist, or perhaps we just have too great
of a heart. excellent write!

You are the blue, ...and the yellow in the sky on a warm day, you are also hot poetry.

Kari darling sister of my heart, girl there is in your writing a deep and abiding echo that lingers in the soul of the reader, so few writers can and do write this fewer do this as well as this. It is a pleasure to read such well written expressive work. This is an utterly utterly utterly wonderful post. So incredibly well constructed the flow is excellent like a stream of crystal water it refreshes as it strokes the mind.

You know because you know me well that I love this utterly utterly love it, this is YOU at your best

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire
