Providence by Firelight

Watching my wife though the prism of flames

Do these eyes deceive

Or do I gaze

Upon a sheer naked soul

Through these prism flames

Which rise between us

 

Inward somewhere

They do go

Unto a place

I believe I must know

 

Outside…

The fire’s ring

Circles of never ending warmth

Where cold whispers writhe as winds do blow

 

Past ghost mothers

Telling tales of us

Ancient of other planes

And upon further orbs

 

A prince and princess

From distant tribes

The dance of fire

Once again draws forth

 

From centers

Of a universe

Out of darkness

We love birthed

 

So the brother...

Fire, serenades

Unifies the sun

And the moon

 

Also too the celestial…

Sister earth, celebrates

Two beings

Into one truth

Sigh. I deeply admire a husband who writes sweet and sincere poems for his wife. This poem is really.....SIGH....

[Michael G. Smith]

She's a blessed woman but I am the more blessed man. My pray is for every man to find joy and happiness in there wife.

True. Failing marriages these days discourage me in pursuing a married life in the future.

Why am I even thinking of such? I'm just 18. :P

[Michael G. Smith]

Please don't let others mistakes discourage you from one of God's most beautiful gift to us. I am on my second marriage because I didn't know what I had the first time so now ive learned treat Our Relationship like a flower and nurture it. For us having a relationship with Chris has given our relationship a stronger foundation.

I'm trying to regain my trust toward men, Mike. It's hard but I'm trying. Thank you so much for your encouragement. :)

Such a romantic, warm poem. It will honestly steal your heart away until you have read the last word and even then you are left there sitting in awe.

[Michael G. Smith]

Sometimes I get lost just gazing upon my wife and her beauty. I amazed at how the Lord as placed us together because my love for increases day after day. I pray that everybody finds this happiness. These things are the inspiration for this poem. Now, I'm working with the Lord to find my 24 yr. old son a good wife.

That's the most sweetest thing I've ever seen.

[Michael G. Smith]

I am so sweet she gets cavities just standing near me, lol.

[s y e]

Bahahahaha, OMFG! Wait until she hears that or even sees!

[Michael G. Smith]

Oh, she'll agree. I do surprise rose petal writings for her. My poem Rain dance I paid a friend to write the music and sing and record it for our anniversary so she could have her own song. Not bragging, just giving proof she'll agree.

That is the cutest thing ever. It's so lovely to hear when someone loves their wife as much as you do.

Gorgeous write, that takes one's heart away...romantic surrealism...
Thank you for sharing!

[Michael G. Smith]

Many thanks to you. Yes my whole heart belongs to her but i allow some of its essence to linger on into my poetry

[ms. barrie]

You're very welcome :)

[Rita L. Sev]

This is beautiful, Mike - lovely images and warm sentiments make this a great poem.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Rita. I lost the original when I transferred over to this site. I rewrote it from the memory of my heart.

[Frieda P]

I really like this one Michael, it's down to earth yet has a fiery tang to it, one line....

'Where cold whispers writhe as blow'

kind of tripped me up, made me think of cocaine, so it kind of brought a whole other scenario to mind, which I know was not your intention. Maybe 'as they blow'...

[Michael G. Smith]

When i wrote this contemplating the change but thought to myself perhaps a minor few would make the drug connection anyways i changed it and now the wind is doing the cocaine, lol.

[Frieda P]

Ha still reads the same to moi! Do blow, sounds like a party ;-) ha...

[Michael G. Smith]

Only to people who would think about drugs in a romance poem, argg! Hahaha

[Frieda P]

Hey you wrote it....ha, I wasn't expecting if from you either! ;-P

[Michael G. Smith]

I don't think about drugs in my writing that's why I originally kept it simpler. I changed it for you. You are welcome, lol.

[Frieda P]

Like I said, shocking. ;-)

[A. Amos]

Another splendid write my friend, with myriad hidden messages. Thank you for sharing..

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks. I didn't intend any hidden messages here. These are just so of the feelings I get staring into my wife's eyes.

[A. Amos]

Wow Mike that is great way to stare in eyes, she should be proud of your work bro.
