Notes About The Poem

Campfire

CAMPFIRE 

I thirst to taste your solid wood stare
I see you and no one else 
Nestling under the stars
Hungry for each others ears

Chasing every comet across the sky
Fierce when it comes to standing tall
Desires releas screams from the mundane night
Running naked throughout the world
Firewood burning the depth of our soul
Dancing in a path we put mortals to shame  
A swarm of gray shade arousing the night
Secret moans before,  morning dew hit sunrise

Prowling in circles
Feeling each others instinctive curiosity
Surrender to the ashes of our hide  
Passion lost within a dream-catchers web.

A pack of thieves we long to be
Weaving into an echoless growl
No one dares to separate the pack we create 
A stare of solid wood I hunger to taste. 

Night after night, IN THE MOOD ~always

This remarkable poem puts the reader there--by that campfire--"chasing every comet across the sky." Magnificent imagery and flow with a compelling message. Awesome.
