Flames Do Leap

One glance and flames set ablaze His fluttering heart in a daze Like a spinning kite caught in the wind It has no fear of fall nor singe Consumed by love’s eternal flame He seems a man somewhat insane His smiles once rare, make no retreat Constant and fierce as desert heat Now broaden as hot flames leap ~*~ By: Annalise Brigham 6/16/14 Note: For Nette's Novo Otto "FLAME/S" Contest. Though late..LOL

Sweetie, I hope you get some time to rest and enjoy writing for contests again. It's a pity you missed the deadline as this poem is splendid. A man in love can seem to be "insane," and the smiles come more easily then. Love is almost like a mania itself -- eliminating fears that are truly well-founded. I can just see all of this in the "spinning kite." Hope you're getting more rest. Love you, Carolyn
