So beautiful is the flame, <br />That flickers in the wind. <br />It's heat has no natural end. <br />It's evil has no face. <br />It is a master of disguise. <br /> <br />So comforting It is, <br />Warming me when I'm cold and lonely, <br />Burning me if i get to close. <br />It more ways than one it is a lover to me. <br />It makes me love it with all my heart, <br />Then it burns me so bad I can't live. <br /> <br />So I love the fire. <br />I play with undefeated desire. <br />Wanting to know if it's a liar. <br />Hoping it isn't an endless satire. <br />Wishing i could retire, <br />From this endless desire, <br />To be burned by my fire. <br />By my lover. <br /> <br />(12-10-07)<br /><br />James Creamer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-lover-7/
