Metal to Stone

"By contrast…Lo!
The Flint to Steel
By spark to flame
Their thoughts reveal
That He the Metal
She the Stone
Had cherished secretly
Alone."

In awed respect
Flickered a flame
In thoughts for capture
None to blame
For in their spirit’s
Restless flight
Their flame grew on
Brighter…Bright

The nights were tasted
Theirs to own
As daylight fades
It’s shadowed form
They stole another
Blissful eve
Because they chose
To believe.

As metal drapes
Itself to stone
In ecstasy
They’re not alone
For lovers ... friends
Eternal plight
Is live by days
To love for nights.

With purloined rhythm
Hearts beat close
They loved till dawn
As sun arose
Flint to Steel
Their Metal honed
Content once more…for days alone

Such an unlikely coupling these two frictional surfaces. You've taken the inroductory quote and turned it into a metaphoric sensation of the most passionate kind an dleaving this reader quite content...sparks and all...I can feel the heat. Awesome write Susan,
Christmas love,

OOOOOOOOOOOOO... delightful steely glint of the court and spark that glimmers in the lovers' eyes. Wonderful analogy of true compatibility, steel sharpening steel. Love's blade as sharp as a rapier, flying as true as the firey dart. This write, as ever, is as smooth as silk and your words sheathed in glorious poetic lustre. Blessings to you and yours this Christmastime, Susan. LOL K xx

A fine write Belle. Flowed like honey in thought and meter. Love the formatting.

Also love the tension with the elements you chose. Metal wears down the stone - stone sharpens the metal - both can destroy each other - and both are birthed in the same geological womb.

Peace to you ...

Tantalizing write that uses some sensual materials as symbols for the passionate interchange going on in this wonderful write. Hot as the fire the steel is tempered in.
