a fire alive

 be there anything toastier and warming than a fire alive?

from its heat comfort derive

yet...too close to it sit

eventually...bit by bit

deeper in ones seat to move

the distance the comfort does improve.

again and again to its mystery be drawn

its magic pull never dull or worn

a fire does know to bring alive

the imagination amok, new tales contrive....

so... here be one of lovers lost 

to steal each others heart, the cost

the heat of passions touched and teased

their lustful desires completely pleased.

hotter and hotter, explosive their lust

closer and closer a guaranteed combust

of too much dallying in bodily pleasures

beyond prescriptive and acceptable measures.

then began the break away

to take deep breathes and stay away

each other, the others heart would keep

now and forever...in each others bosom sleep.
