Fervent Flare

In my arctic heart perennial permafrost freezes fragile emotions. In your flaming fervor glacial desire turns cinder in the inferno of love. In my blazing yearning searing crave swirls with fervent flare of fire. __________ January 8, 2023 For Brian Strand Contest No. 1167

Subimal, this short poem is power-packed. I loved the use of alliteration--perennial permafrost freezes fragile emotions...fervent flare of fire. The 'glacial desire turns cinder in the inferno of love' reminds me of my haiku "Warmth." Is the word 'crave" in the last stanza a noun (craving)?

Thank you for your visit and for the encouraging comments. Crave is used as a noun like desire.
