On Fire

I penned these thoughts without a pause...some rhyming worked for me...not sure about it for the reader, though!

A fire raging in my heart
Winding through the paths
Of love destined to spread
Through every single part
A fire igniting across the sea
From you to me
Morning and night it strikes
A light glowing inside our eyes
Illuminating the silent darkness
Burning into the sleepless sky
Watching over our love
Hiding our sorrow
Wiping away our tears
Releasing us from fears
As we hold each other tight
Kisses linger on lips
The luscious taste of
Scented sips
Precious golden honey
Elixir of a different kind
Not bought with money
A love, ocean wild and deep
Riding the tumultuous waves
From shore to shore, hungry
And always wanting more
Every touch sliding through
Our hands, fingertips on fire
Extending every desire
Proving our love to be true
To the end of time
I am yours, and you are mine.

What a beautiful and romantic piece.
Filled with so much love and passion.
I love the title, and the whole poem itself.
This is filled with strong emotions as well.
I like how it came straight from the heart, and came so naturally, you didn't have to think it through the words just came to you and you jolted them down.
Well written.
Keep on writing :)

' A light glowing inside our eyes - Illuminating the silent darkness - Burning into the sleepless sky .. '
What beautiful and intensely passionate poetry, Marianne. 'Can hear the sizzling from here to there! Your free-thought flight really has left an indelible mark.. so that the feelings hit the mind and imagination without a moment's hesitation.

[Marianne]

Oh my, I wish I had responded to your wondrous review much sooner; but I have been thinking of you, Emma. Grieving for my mum has occupied much of my time, so now I turn my sorrow into praise-prayers and feel a lot more at peace. Thank you so much for reading and enjoying this poem! (((you)))

as the Beatles sang...
"money can't buy me love"

it is like an ocean...can't buy that either...it is too vast, too much its own....

i really like the personification in this...very strong message of love.

I'm so sorry I haven't responded to your generous and kind review until now, Jacob. Thank you so much! Life gets in the way at times, I'm afraid.

AH YES! This one DOES flow nicely from line to line . . . not choppy, despite the short line style. I really enjoy the sensuality of this message, without dipping low into crass or blunt sex talk.

This section is particularly powerful, personifying this light, this fire:
"A light glowing inside our eyes
Illuminating the silent darkness
Burning into the sleepless sky
Watching over our love
Hiding our sorrow
Wiping away our tears
Releasing us from fears"

[Marianne]

Oh, I didn't realise I hadn't responded to your amazing interest and compliment to 'On Fire', barleygirl. Thank you so very much for your encouragement!

No worries . . . it's easy to overlook these things (((HUGS)))

[Marianne]

Thank you again so much. (((HUGS)))
