The flame of Love is a flame that can not be extinguished. Hi Teddy, Love can only be extinguished in the human mind, it ever burns in the heart, that is what makes it so painful when Love is lost. Fire, it dances and sings its own frightening lullaby, lulling us all into a false state of security. This is a wonderful write on the discovery of fire. Your poem is simple and straight forward and that is what gives it the power it holds. An excellent poem Teddy. This has to be a seven....Mike.
