Best Firelight Poems

Passion burning by firelight


A mystic instigation, of skin against skin
In breathless anticipation,  for loving to begin
Outside is the darkness, of a cold winters night
Inside there's a passion, burning by firelight

Between the whispers and the sighs

Sitting in front of the fire, bathed in firelight.
On this cold and windy January night.

Watching the flames as they dance, red, orange and gold.
Feeling the warmth wrap around me, shutting out the cold.

I think of sitting like this so many times in the past.
Thinking the...

     "Firelight"




warm fireplace ablaze glowing radiant delight
as embers twinkle shimmering fires to ignite
young lovers sweet kiss ...
while moonlight peeks 'neath sheer veil of night
till sunlight rays embrace fairest sight
smiling at stolen bliss ...

The wood is piled
my emotions riled
Sweet expectations
settle in my soul

Sweat dappled brows
my emotions drowse
sudden conclusions
fill in the hole

of my heart.

The fire started in the pit
warming ourselves 
in it's globe
and there we sit
like two lost elves
waiting to disrobe

Take your time,
Love
The perfect man
does exist.

As twilight now comes, we view a fair maiden,
flushed by the fire, in the hush of the room
after spending her day, where the heather was strewn
The stroke of the brush, shows a blush on her cheeks

She's enthralled by the flame, while a red setting sun,
says...

Entranced, I stared at the fire's rhythmic flicker 
My eyes transfixed on the glowing golden flame 
The pungent scent of night jasmine grew thicker 
Entranced, I stared at the fire's rhythmic flicker 
Our romantic whispers became words of bicker
Nothing between us would ever be the...

The flickering, dreamy firelight, does a sultry dance,
Upon the walls of cozy evening, at autumn's arrival.
The fading sun left its memory, the crackling flames;
And bluebird sings sunshine in lush, scented tropics.
The shadows are in rhythm, with the whirling snow,
On the edge of chill November, flying...

The coming of the night

Soft glow of gossomer wings

Dark shades of green

Of Faeries, forest and firelight

 

The dance at the end of twilight

Amongst the trees

Of Faerie song

Of forest and firelight

 

Golden flashes in the night

Of blue

Green and red

Amongst the trees

Of Faeries, forest and firelight

 

Faeries...

Firelight warm and welcoming
thick fur rug spread before it
candle lights flickering softy
red wine in tall fluted glasses

Rested on the mantle reflected
in the mirror in hazy tones
casting a soothing atmosphere 
with an air of expectancy

The hopes of people now long gone
linger adding a peaceful note
inviting lovers...

The glass of those large blue eyes cooled the spirit
The morning light streamed  through  stained glass
Windows streamed  golden rays glittered  with dust
She  coccooned  like  a  precious  jewel  in a casket
Eloquent  flute  love ...

You made your mark in my soul
  So soft…so subtle…
Yet so indelible, so mesmerizing 
  When your lips touch mine...
I soar on wings of love for you 

As we lay by the firelight
 I give you my heart for safe keeping
For you are...

I sit in silence, deep in thought
By the light of a dying ember

The mind forgets, but the heart does not
Imaginations dreamlike splendour.

I sit and dream of an old desire
I think of faces and remember names

They all come back when new things tire
As I sit by...

Everything follows relativity 
Good to evil, chaos to symmetry 

Thus we must go up and down 
Riding cycles round and round 
No lines of tangent; we lounge in our lair 
Sin's too rampant and we couldn't care 

The brightest flames grow quickest yet we dwell...

we danced in that room
to firelight 
skin silk slipping
under my hands

with each flicker 
we turned together
and I held you
enchanted
lovewords
in my hair

a prayer
in a moment of glory
and thanksgiving
for you....
