i will not be scorched <br />by the flame of another <br />i shall keep my fire <br />fueled only by the pure <br />kindling found deep <br />within the terrain <br />of my wooded home <br /> <br /> <br />the sun shall bring <br />enough light by day <br />and a torch well-lit <br />providing steady <br />footsteps tredding <br />the dark by night <br /> <br />[as I search for what <br />I cannot find or name] <br /> <br />no light save by the moon <br />on occassion when it <br />occassion finds <br />which reflects the sun bright <br />from yonder hemisphere <br />translating another's flame <br /> <br /> <br />that illumines my weary soul <br />with tongues & quills on fire <br />intermingling in a display <br />of fiery scathing sparks <br />and warm glowing rays <br />of gently wedded breaths <br /> <br />[to possess at last <br />what i have named & found] <br /> <br /> <br />`<br /><br />Frederick Kesner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fusion-refraction/
