About This Poem

Flames

Something always smoldering deep inside 
Bursting forth like it’s been ignited

Expressing inner thoughts and desires
Words dance together like the flames of a fire

Shooting flames across expansive skies
I can see the refection of the light in your eyes 

Reaching your heart in a colorful fashion 
And returning to mine in the form of compassion

Read my words, my life you’ll know 
Come to me, we’ll be warmed by the glow  

February 2013  ~ for Michael J. Falotico’s “Boomerrang” contest

    I seem to have skipped over this beauty. It's a wonderful thought - to be warmed by someone's inner most feelings. Without that we are only scratching at the surface, only getting a small taste. Not to sound greedy, but I don't want crumbs, I want the pie :) Good work Becca!

    YES, I think this is one Michael will like for his winnners' list!! Becca, you and I have the ocean in common too. I never really lived very near an ocean, but the few times I was able to visit one, I just adored it. Which beaches have you been to? I got to go to Rio de Janeiro's one time and also a very short Bahama cruise. I know if you went on a cruise it would be the best time of your life.

    I think you're right, I'd love a cruise! I go near Tampa Florida.. hang out on Siesta Key... :) I have been three times now and I hope to go every year... it's my most favorite place to be... walking along the beach, playing in the waves.... oh Andrea you have me dreaming now..... :D
