Best Light A Fire Under It Poems


Premium Member Light My Fire By the Doors
Always thought the song 
‘Light my fire’ was named
“Come on Baby, Light my Fire!”
A serious way to say fire
That almost no one else got right.
But the Doors did.

The Doors were so iconic in the 70’s,
That you could not turn on the radio without
hearing them.

The “kids”...

or sap at work in the grove

Light a Fire and Burn
You find me so easy these days,
Leaving the extreme burden 
of being a good wife all the time,
You find me in the corner of the garden,
Sharing a cup of coffee 
and looking at our child losing herself,
in her imaginary kingdom of lawn,
You bridge the gap...

You Light My Fire
Shrine for beloved
Placed ever so gently
In  sanctuary 
Resting for now
In light of shards
Transparent to naked eye
Searching for a flame

In memory of life passages
Now walking in valleys of green

Lift thy prayers
In our Father's name
Guide thy soul
Heal thy pains
Through thy body of Christ our Lord



{Amen}...

Light the Fire
A humble flow,
Trembles down the window pane,
As the creatures make noise,
The air talks,

Calming of the night,
Brings a figure,
Dark but deep sight,
Eyes staring in fright,

From another world,
I don't know,
But mysteriously seen,
Not heard,
Nothing to show.

Just an indecisive man,
A spirit perhaps,
Walking into a land,
Without an understanding,
Maybe running laps,

Pondering...

Light My Fire
Gotta get that fire
Get that fire started
Gotta get that fire
Get that fire started

This is about my fire
Your fire, our fire
Come on, baby

Come sit down next to me
Down, down, down
Open up your eyes, so you can see
Show me how hot you really are
Ah, babe, this lovin'...

Somebody Light a Fire
Since you’ve gone it’s gotten dark, my minds a swirling haze.
There ain’t no moon or rising sun to tell my night from days.
I walk around like I’m dead whispering your name.
Pretty soon I’m gonna freeze numb from all the pain.

Somebody build a fire 
Somebody fan...

I searched the top and bottom of my mind
Who is the most famous couple of them all
I sat by the fire close to Yang
He asked me if I knew his lover Yin
He held the fire and light within his hands
Only her water could quench the...

Light My Bridge
T. Hunt
Verse/intro: I remember you showed me that path,
When you paved the road for existence. 
 ~Showed me all the cracked doors, broken escapes, and then the darkness.
I can barely remember the look in your eyes my demise I realized “deaths” upon us.
~So show me...

Hated Doubt
I have my doubt and I hate it.
 To doubt is a sin,
 a sin of which is the worst of them all.
 You own my heart and you treasure it like a precious Jem that you have earned. 
I love you because you stole...
