Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Fanning the Flames

I've stumbled more times
then I care to remember
but I will not stay down
in pity I will not drown
for I am a burning ember

Animosity fans my flames
When in despair and weak
But I will never give in
when I've a chance to win
though I turn the other cheek

But when I look into hazel eyes
that tempt me and tease
a smile gives you away
I become a slave, ready to play
and I fall upon my knees
