Flames Do Leap

One glance and flames set ablaze
 His fluttering heart in a daze
 Like a spinning kite caught in the wind
 It has no fear of fall nor singe 
 Consumed by love’s eternal flame
 He seems a man somewhat insane
 His smiles once rare, make no retreat
 Constant  and fierce as desert heat
 Now broaden as hot flames leap

Sweetie, I hope you get some time to rest and enjoy writing for contests again. It's a pity you missed the deadline as this poem is splendid. A man in love can seem to be "insane," and the smiles come more easily then. Love is almost like a mania itself -- eliminating fears that are truly well-founded. I can just see all of this in the "spinning kite." Hope you're getting more rest. Love you, Carolyn
