The fire is lit
Flame kisses wood
And the two in their embrace
Send love into the room
Where warmth will soon
Undulate in shameless fashion
They travel timeless distances
From palaces of Caesar
And Nubian huts
From prairie homes
And sailors' berths at sea
Marc Antony and Cleopatra
Wooed their heat
In coolness of Alexandrian night
And watched the dancing flames and wood
By competitive moonlight

Beautiful words Lorna bringing wonderful images.

Good write Lorna.
So well penned dear poet…the flames that drew moths around
Like lovers in corner
The flame that hold story of many
The flames that carries the warmth
The love of the children around
Your flames bring a warmth inside
When it’s cold outside
Loved it dear poet
your depiction of that ill-fated romance, displays a lot of insight..
thanks for sharing
