Old Flames

Old Flames

Drawn,
a flickered seduction,
to lick flames
which lick back.

She brands me her own.
We melt.
We trickle
drizzle – contained in a glass hurricane.

A smile exchanged
smolders off to sleep.

It must be the cold in the UP that overstimulates the labido Dave ;

I loved

a flickered seduction,
to lick flames
which lick back.

Thanks, Oonah. It isn't the cold; it's the wife.

Thanks, Jennifer. It's no "Fifty Shades of Grey" but, then again, that wasn't what I was going for. (Actually I've never read 50 Shades - nor do I care to.)

Great title. Love that opening opening stanza - dancing flames. Drawn suggests a multitude of visaul and metaphorical meanings.
I love,
We trickle
drizzle – contained in a glass hurricane.

Nice ending.

Thanks to Kirsty and Bill for you kind words. This was another of those 'fun' poems. I may even show it to the wife this afternoon. Thanks again, Dave.
