Notes About The Poem

Stroke the Heart, Ignite the Flame

                               12/12/2023
                 
                   STROKE THE HEART, IGNITE THE FLAME


I went on a heathered journey to his heart.
So passionately anxious was I to depart.

To his welcoming mountain cabin in the woods.
I walked through the fresh snow, as best I could.

Where a warm, welcoming, fireplace awaited me.
Through the falling snow I could barely see.

His most alluring shadow on a shade I did see.
Only a few more steps, to be wrapped in those arms 
that winter, magnificently.

The table was set with utter perfection.
Quickly, I entered,nearly running in his direction.

No time for useless chit-chat at all, now.
The candles flickered our shadows on the wall, oh wow!

Oh, night of passion’s amberness, truly divine, 
two magical lovers, intertwined.
A kingdom of tenderness, when I was fully thine.

This also, IMHO, is one of my best! I rarely say that. I am neither a wit nor a twit. Nor out living in some rareied air of stars, muses,and thesaurean poetry. I have both feet planted on earth and poets need not write to impress……its so dang yucky. Dickinson was simple but her technique got the point across exquisitely! Some porms here! Like overly dome wedding cakes. I have a long way to go. Pangie
