Campfire
Silly girl put you imagination away, tend the fire
My thoughts are tending another fire
Breathe life back into it
Like has been done to me
Focus here, stoke it up lest it goes out
This other burns, beckoning bright
The embers are your charge and they diminish
But this fire builds and burns in my belly
There the flames are growing now
I see the hot tongues lick the damp beams
Stop, focus on the heat, devouring the wood
Yes licking, devouring, wood
Hopeless lusty poet you are beyond reason
Mesmerizing flames rhythmically sway
No! smoldering ash and sparkling cinders fly
Yes I’m smoldering, and sparks fly from me
Can’t you just look at a fire and let it be a fire
Steady burning, long, strong, timbers
I’m defeated, keeping your mind clean exhausts me
Release me to play amongst the fiery coals, let me toast
