Notes About The Poem

A Warm Invitation

Come in from the cold
and thaw in my home,
which is my two arms.
Just let me hold you
so tight as you sleep.

I'll strike a match
and light a spark
that starts a flame
deep in your soul.

Please, let me
be your light
in the dark.

Come in
from the...

cold.

Dear Edward, thank you.. I am humbled and incredibly honored by the kind generous warmth of your words. I am but one ingredient that adds spice to the hearty pot of Poetry Soup. Your special poetic spice adds a fine flavor all its own, that without which, the flavor of the Soup would be as dull as gruel. Your outstanding poetry outshines the noonday sun my friend.
