Tender Tinder

Tender Tinder

So recently, and yet a time agone,
Our tender tinder nestled, unremarked.
By flinty sense, conclusions seemed forgone…
But no-- a glint of something else was sparked.

With Winter all around us growing colder
To perigee of Solstice in December…
How lowly did it linger small and smolder,
While we ignored the light within the ember?

And then… a wind upon our kindling blew.
Recurling wafts of passion rose like smoke,
Incensing us… Igniting what we knew…
And from that ash, bright tongues of fire spoke…

Our flaming hearts are hearths that burn and beat;
My Sweet, the mountains melt before our heat.

Vlaentine's Day is coming... thought I'd post something appropriate.

Well sabertooth, since Vlaentine's Day is coming, mountains melt before your heat?

Guess I salute your temperature!

Reading is subjective - I took your poem also as describing the quick and strong emotional reaction against IOC decision not to permit US flag at games... Nice job, Saber.

If this is yours, you have an admirable talent!

[snopercod]

Very good. I may try and use it on my honey. (Lord knows I need all the help I can get.)

[vikingchick]

Bump!

[Texaggie79]

(checks to see if he is wearing panties)Nope! This don't float my boat.

[Brian Allen]

Thanks, indeed!

[MeekOneGOP]

bump!

Your poem embodied the spirit of romanticism it's captivating, brilliant, daring and dissolute.

[Sabertooth]

Very good. I may try and use it on my honey. (Lord knows I need all the help I can get.)

Thanks, and good luck.

Maybe try another hat?

[Sabertooth]

Thanks very much.

[Sabertooth]

Relieved to hear about your boat.

Though you shouldn't go out in skirts like that... nasty.
