SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION


Cardiac arrest
This presence ignites the soul
Essence is released

Eyes penetrate deep
Breathing is impossible
Nakedness found here

Relax! This fire's safe!
Love's long legs grip like a vice
Hold completely fast

Hiatus is gone
Soft sighs fan love's furnace flame
Meltdown now begun

Iron will will yield
Nothing withstands such fierce heat
Let Phoenix arise

Kate, is the Phoenix rising from the ashes? Does it knock at the door? How will it be welcomed. This is a very interesting poem dear heart. There is an answer and not a riddle. A beginning, just a beginning. Will Phoenix soar now? Is the compass set in the right direction? Where does the answer lie. Inside the heart? Will the flames consume one forever. WHAT AN EARTHSHAKING SHATTERING POEM from a beautiful heart and soul. Hugs Bill xx

I love the way you can couch erotica in words
that have no connotation of such unless you are
deft enough to know how to arrange them! Kate you
are a unique and brilliant poet!Kudo's
