Array ( [sid] => 121373 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fire [time] => 2006-06-06 11:15:38 [hometext] => The fire within each of us starts with a spark. [bodytext] => There is a spark within me,
You can hear it in my voice.
The cold gale of your indifference
Freezes and stalls.
Neglect steals my strength;
Vainly I glow and
Wish to be seen.
I starve and nothing is left.

There is a spark within me,
You can see it in my soul.
The storms of your anger
Threaten and bellow,
Disapproval rains upon me;
The smoke burns my eyes
And stings my throat.
I sputter and die.

There is a spark within me,
You can feel it when you are close.
The driving hail of your fear
Pounds upon me.
Distrust refuses to release;
I struggle to my knees
Only to succumb.
Ashes are all I am.

There is a spark within me,
You can see it in my eyes.
The gentle breeze of your love
Warms and raises me.
Support is the dry tinder that feeds;
I am a roaring blaze
Sending sparks to kiss the sister stars.
I warm all within my circle of light.

I thought this was tremendous,read it several times but can't we light that spark with self-feeding tinder,just for us? Or do we always need another,telling us we are loved,to burn that blaze?

Absolutely magnificent. Undoubtedly you are a master architect in the design of emotional building. Utilizing all those metaphors to accomodate coherent emotional pictures, you've done built an awesome roller-coaster of beauty! I adore this poem! Thanks, Jennifer. Talk about HOT!
