Golden leaves falling
A cold chill winters calling
Awaken to white
We snuggle by the firelight 
Holding you makes everything right...

lonely dancer, song of life
dancing in the firelight
twirling as the music plays
feign and sway your night away

By the light of the firefly
I walk…I walk down the path
Seeing things I just imagine
Center of firelight

lost in deep snow drifts
inside we are safe and warm
dancing by firelight

the stars are twinkling
outside the snow still falling
music softly plays...

As I lay by the river in the warm firelight
and watch the stars in the sky take flight
It seems that all in the world is right 
be it only in my dreams tonight...

Specks of honed firelight
Grinding out the light of times
Flies run in the dark
Lighting up the night spaces
Bringing harmony to night

The sky is black as the night when the stars do not show,
Black as the feathers of a somber crow.
Black as coal when the firelight dies,
Black as life dying from a sick one's eyes....

Snow falling,
Wind blowing,
Flames burning.

Young and old…
Decorate
Christmas trees.

By firelight:
Children sing
Old church hymns.

Tarry with me tonight -
My dear firelight!
Your precious warmth be
My solitary company. 
It's my plush blanket
Wrapping me in heat.
Not all is well;
Darkness cast its spell.
Luxurious light - 
Do stay tonight!...

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....

Pick up your old guitar, 
find the soothing chords,
plucked notes or rhythmic hum,
voice your lyrics by firelight.
Bard, sing the songs of love, 
where none can dance tonight
but don't dare give your heart away,
take your place in destiny....

Good Night / Good Morning


Big Night.
Highlights.

Love starts.
Weak Hearts.

Black lace,
Staircase.

All night,
Firelight.

Next day,
Hallway.

Sitting outside the firelight
I share this valley with the moon
The stars twinkle overhead
and the bullfrogs begin to croon
My fire sparks its own starlight
drifting up into the night sky
To God I give a prayer
as a wolf starts a lonely cry...

 Flickering amber
Appealing to my senses
Nostalgia dances, impish
Whispering compassion
Firelight winking whimsical warmth

You touched me as the sunlight
     on the birth of a new day
You touched me as the firelight
     in a soft and gentle way
You touched me as the starlight
     from the calm heavens above
You touched me as the moonlight
     with a gentle kiss of love....

Autumn fades with a burning flame.
Deserted trees breathe,
savoring mixed emotions -
the hush before the absence of color.
Haunting melodies wipe memories,
suspended - going nowhere slowly.
Temperatures dip, and the grey winter
shadows cover the firelight....

See them gliding down the street
Like phantoms in the twilight
Chilling wind and rustling sheets
As pumpkins grin by firelight

Giggling ghouls in search of sweets
Red-faced devils and witches so green
Big black cats shout “Trick or treat!”
Magic words on Halloween....

On the breezes to sink and rise,
Flutters scented bird of paradise,
In the days of mauve butterflies,
They captivate all waiting eyes!

Bittersweet in fate, days go by,
Under the dreaming summer skies,
'Til evening finds beauty's prize,
Now dancing with the fireflies!...

BURNING FIRE
I am a fire
current red as a fervent heat core
a blaze burning firelight
a lightning blast
burning up nature groups
ashes to ashes now turn to dust
I am a fire

"Intimate Strangers"


Sunset sleeps gently
Moonlight illuminates night
two hearts glow in dark.

Stars play peek-a-boo
Planets twirl to haunt essence
two souls firelight.

Dawn awakes flowers
desires and passions prowled
intimate strangers.

     "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 ...
