Light Was Always Fire

treat me like fire

search for me in the skies

dissolve me into your eyes

from your back 

look closer
before death, 

with claws

hold onto life

with paws

hold onto thoughts

dexterous 

with fingers

make them your own

with your mind

and show the world

how to treat fire

while you're burning  

alive to death

treat me like fire
search for me in the skies
dissolve me into your eyes

Is it me, or could these lines stand on their own?

[Davidgeo]

They could... but where's the fun in that?

now this is beautiful poetry writing.
"What makes it so beautiful dana"?
Because it is duologe and unduplicative and inoculate and involving....and yes, wonderful even when
the veiled, equivocal reflection of a lover appears......that's why...dana

[Davidgeo]

You've made me genuinely chuckle.
