Fire

The wind whips, the snow flies.
The temperature steadily drops
as the sun sets on another winter day.

The fire's lit, the flames begin to dance.
The heat slowly pours into the room
as the fire begins another winter night.

The flames grow as we hold each other close.
The temperature steadily rises
as the clock ticks by on another winter night.

We sit together, the fire is the only light.
The crackling of wood, the only sound.
As we think of each other and our life together.

Laying together, the fire still burns bright.
Nodding off, awaking to each other's soft kisses.
Our eyes grow heavy... "I love you."

I slowly get up and stoke the flames
To keep us warm and cozy.
While we sleep on this cold winter night.

We fall asleep, always dreaming of each other.
Our love will never fade.
Just like the light of the fire tonight.

Author notes

...Sometimes I think I try too hard. Hehe.
I wrote this one because someone made an awesome comment on my last one about cuddling by a fire, so I tossed this together

    a very warm poem (haha), but seriously it was pretty good. the comparision between love and fire is not entirely unique but you did it in an interesting way nonetheless, so good job!

    Well, I say that I tried to hard because I just sorta sat down and wrote it, I didn't think of anything beforehand. I was just like "Hey, fire... yeah. Warm, cozy, cuddly. Sounds good to me."
    Thanks for the comments

    That was beautiful and if you tried to hard I'd never know it. I love the way this one flowed. I loved it.
