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.

Coming from Poetrysoup's finest poet---in my opinion, at least---that means a great deal. Thank you, Susan! You've made my day, my friend.
