Array ( [sid] => 142104 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Open Fire... [time] => 2008-05-03 10:47:22 [hometext] => I saw you today tossing love letters into an open fire letting our memories burn and twist in the somber setting of a silent flame.. [bodytext] => --------_________------------

I saw you today
tossing love letters into an open fire
letting our memories burn and twist
in the somber setting
of a silent flame

I know that you’re hurting love
I know that what I’ve done is wrong
and that tears can’t extinguish
this kind of roaring flame

But don’t let it be over
don’t let our love disappear
too much blood and ink
have been spilled
to just turn it all to smoke
rising out of an open fire

If I meant anything to you
and if our love has to be a memory
please bury it under lock and key
and don’t let it spread in the winds
that cut through this spring air

I know that you owe me nothing
especially not my dignity or my respect
but I’d like to be remembered my love
even if only in spite

I want my words to have more meaning
than just a column of wind-whipped smoke
and I want our memories to last longer
than a small box of hand-written letters
tossed into the heart
of a roaring open fire

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
