Flame of Love A spark lights a candle in a room of dark. A small flame starts life on a wick. It flickers and wavers in the gloom. As the wax drips down the candle's sides The flame gains in strength spreading it's glow. As I watched that candle, I thought of our love. Like the flame it was sparked into existence. There were moments that it almost went out. But we cupped our hands around it And provided a sanctuary of calm. Today that candle of love burning in our hearts Illuminates the path our future charts. believe in what your heart feels... |

Scorpio~ You have filled the air with a heavenly scent indeed. Much enjoyed the analogy and metaphors that you lit up your words with. |

Excellent, and a beautiful ending to this.. I probably would have played with that last line a little....but that would just be my own thoughts... I enjoyed your's, and I think this poem says a lot about team work and commitments... |

Smith has been writing since 1970 and has 17 books of poetry out, and two fiction pieces, plus some other books. He has twice been up for a Pulitzer Prize in poetry. I met him two years ago at a poetry reading. I truly believe you would enjoy his work. |
