come, gather by the flames;
all the words and phrases,
and the places and the names.

watch them as they crackle,
the raw fuel of desire;
gathered in your wanderings
to heap onto the fire.

licking tongues of brightness,
languorous curlicues;
observances and memories of
pain and all its dues.

sparks of reminiscence,
hot embers in their flight;
joy and love and laughter
giving chorus to the night.

great pops of hidden mysteries,
of light and heat and smoke;
that make life feel so precious,
then reveal it’s all a joke.

entrancing possibilities,
and phrases that engross;
a warmth at a distance,
but burn if we’re too close.

stir the ashes of our discourse,
of words and all their games;
come, share with me your stories,
as we gather by the flames.

A warm and subduing poem that offers an irrefusable welcome back to the flame.

Visually rich. A clear picture of flames and smoke, pure energy, both seductive and dangerous!
Such possibilities, friendship to fuel the fire, sharing stories and tales while the fire dances like a a living entity.
This is magical Spike, and musical in its rhyme! A masterpiece in miniature! Yet for all your structure, it flows along and carries us with it!
The hardest writing is simple and clear, and the underpinnings are invisible to the beholder. You have more than achieved that here!
Splendid. I am envious of your talent.

You are like a beacon on this site, even when I/'/ve been away for a while I know that when I return I will always find something interesting and stimulating from you.
Yet again you have delivered.

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©
