lights my fire
every log placed just
right
stoked with attention
to detail
those wild  flames
  in your eyes
speak volumes
loves and lives
lost and found
a kind face
eventually embraced
by the golden red glow
of burning embers
and sticky sweet
 melted marshmallow
fingers
This was written the other  day  , and it is about my  fiance . His time in the boy scouts   makes  his  fire building skills  excellent. I have  a picture of him over a fire  with the flames   making this awesome  shot  from a trip to  several years ago  we took, and subsequent pictures of other fires  he has made  that brought about this  poem.

You know you've got me, sitting on the edge of my seat. And I hope you know, there's no place I'd rather be. We can just sit here, or look into my eyes and you'll see

Little did you realize, you told me how to get past your eyes. So I'll say a prayer, now I don't have to lie, about how I feel. Taking steps in my mind, trying to think of how to find, a way to tell you.

I watch as sparks collide, in mind to your heart. I tried to fight, but I've known from the start. That this would happen. To you and I. But I'm terrified that this will be our final goodbye. So instead of goodbye, say goodnight. So instead of goodbye, say good night

I close my eyes, I won't say goodbye, until I know just how you feel. I will abide, just from the look of your eyes. How do you feel?

Can you feel it now? (Something I've never felt) Can you feel it now? (Your eyes make me melt) Can you feel it now? (Should we take the chance?) can you feel it now (save me one last dance).

As we lie
  White lights
In wide eyes

The sky
   Is on fire
And we
  Are a flame
Fueled
By desire

The sparks fly
  On the fourth of July
It's you and I
  Up high
Erupting simultaneously
With the bright night sky

I saw sparks
When you entered my life that hot August day
They flamed up with the fireworks
That shot from my heart with its every beat

You saw thick thighs
And in some cases that’s not bad
Every woman needs curves, right?
I had too many

My personality shrunk with my body
I was no longer alive
Just a shrinking mass
Heavy weight trying to float on water

I saw a fire
When I looked at myself in the mirror
My body the smoke
But there was no flame, unless you stuck your arm in

You saw my shrinking flame
And blew on it
Because oxygen fuels fire
But we exhale carbon dioxide
Now there is nothing left to shrink
Maybe it’s for the better

I will always have this 50 reasons why I love you
I will always have this faith of meeting you again
I will always keep this beats that I am feeling
I will always have this daydream walking with you.

I will always go back, turn the page of my life when we are on the same road
I will always imagine the sparks that flew from your eyes
I will always recall those long talks
I will always remember those butterflies.

I will always miss you
I will always be captivated by your eye
I will always want to hang-out with you in the rest of mt life
I will always want to keep you forever.

— The End —
