Ambitious

I can feel you with your clutches grasping with fever
Royal red and a fiery blue flames
I can picture you with a heart of need
Intense with desire 
Eagerly ready to rescind
Aching with humanity
I reach for your hand

The vivid imagery conveys your thoughts powerful way. Nice dedication. Thank you for stopping by to comment on my poem and for your prayers for the area. It's been snowing pretty heavily on and off since yesterday afternoon. The river was going down but who knows what will happen now. I appreciate your concern. Blessings to you. Karen
