By the light of the fire

By the light of the fire

A Poem by Jake Staffeld
"

This was inspired by "Fire Woman" by The Cult.

"
By the light of the fire
We danced the night away
Together through it all

As the smoke curled up
Into the dark sky
Lightning flashes
From dead clouds

But we'll be safe
While we're together
And we'll dance
By the light of the fire

You make me burn
As my heart bursts into flame
I'll twist around with you

And we'll burn the ground
With our passion
As we live forever away
By the light of the fire

Remind me of my time I spend with some Gypsies in Europe. The fire brought good people with good stories and wine together to celebrate being alive. I like the feel and the emotion of this poem. We need to sing and dance by the fire with friends and laughter. A excellent poem.

For some reason this poem reminds me of a song done by Chad Kroeger and Santana called "Into the Night"...I loved the song, and I doubly loved your poem. I loved the passion of the fire and the dance...it reminds me of fiery relationships I had in the past! Well done!!
