Short Roaring Fire Poems

cat curled on my lap
content to bask in my warmth.....
a roaring fire glows...

This used to be home.
The warm, roaring fire kept us safe 
and rocked us asleep....

Winter keeps him warming by the fire
Where the crystal knob 'pon door
Reflects a roaring fire

I have my coffee now and
sit upon
a chair that gives me comfort;
have TV,
a roaring fire, and footstool,
and myself.
So perfect, I find it odd —
oh, so weird.

The boat sails through the mist.
Sounding its horn forlornly.
Its weary crew bound for home.
Salt stained and sweaty.
Seeking the loving embrace of wives and children.
And a comfortable chair-
Next to a roaring fire....

Like the last glowing embers of a once roaring fire I wait
For the winter winds and night to blanket me in the frigid dark

A beauty, solemn, and severe
To the depths
And the bone

And the tattered heart, once in flames now languishes
Still reaching 

But a flicker

Winds whisper secrets with icy lips
Icicles hang like fingers from skeletal trees
New blanket of snow sparkles like tiny diamonds
Tiny snowflakes fall like confetti from heaven
Everywhere the eye can see is painted a brilliant white
Romantic roaring fire removes the icy chill

Motions tilt through shifting planes,
Flat and square--regular at first, 

but then. . .

Ignite the blankness with  roaring fire.
Frost the whiteness with cooling azure haze.
Brush, scrub, dip splash, mark, drag, map.
Make a work of art--
Cold in its inception,
Hot in its realization.

Cool and warm mingle, then mesh,
To form a bond 
To set yet another mind free at last....

Don't ever think my pen ran dry
It won't, it can't, and here is why
All my thoughts of you I write 
And of them there's no end in sight 
Some published, some for only you
To read about, the things we do
In dreams I have, of my desire
To make slow burn a roaring fire
Working out or tuning strings
Along with many other things 
Or simply thoughts where you and me
Enjoy each other's company

Three  
three  
three me
Through the veils of time
Through the veils of space
Through the veils of  veils
Into out of mind
Nearer to away
Stay me to the going
Weigh my chance
Feel my need
Feed my knowing
Wind still blowing
Change and dance
Through this trance 
Keep my honor flowing
Through the darkness
Twisting time
Into light 
Roll   roaring fire
Direct me to
My heart’s desire
Three 
Three 
Three me
Free 
To
Fly...

As pure as silk as soft as sand
how innocent i was when you took my hand
whispering softly in my ear you told me the words i long to hear

As you slowly caressed me i felt so shy 
fearing the roaring fire in your eyes

For i wonder if your love was really mine or just a 
fantasy in my mind

Though there are many words one can say
but to give you my love again
there is no way
For now i have met someone knew 
but i still haven't forgotten the love i once knew
First love.....

Mockingbird comes from his nest deep within running rose
Where it rest upon the trellis
Out into the down pour of rain stands shakes his wings over and over again
Turns around goes back in through the thorns hungry but where it is dry and warm
So like the Mockingbird am I 
I don't like facing a rainy day
Just want to stay beside a roaring fire snug and warm....  

I have no way of knowing what it is
It just needed to be said...
