Fire

Playing with fire is fun and games until it consumes you and all that is left are remnants of who you were before you got burned.

You’ve wiggled your way so far into my heart

So deep into my being

And I treasure who I am becoming

With you

                                                        

I cringe at the brief thought 

Of rediscovering myself

In a dimension where you no longer exist

You have made the difficult

So much simpler

So much happier

You have injected

So much good                                   

In veins so dry

                                                        

There is a flicker of light

In all my darkness

And I can only thank you

For helping me reignite it

A mind once void

Now flooded with visions and dreams for the future

For myself

With you

Author's Note

First time in a long time trying to write. Trying to get into the swing of it again.

Can relate to this. When I met my wife to be I was a box of pieces that needed putting together in such a way that it would open my eyes and heart to what a life filled with love could be like. This she painstakingly did and we are now 25 years married, 28 years together.
Enjoyed reading this piece.

Love this part, this is a very well written write, enjoyed

[Wesley Dingler]

It certainly seems to come a lot easier when it's about love, doesn't it?

[Stephanie]

So I thought as I started picking up a pen again for creative purposes. But I've begun to notice that it's just simple to write through whichever emotions are present in abundance.

[Wesley Dingler]

Then that's what you should do, Steph. Just let it flow naturally, then, if need be, go back and revise it.
Let your passion fly onto the page, whatever the subject.
It doesn't matter what we think, because you aren't writing for us. The fact that we like it is incidental. The fact that you like it makes it poetry.

[Stephanie]

Very helpful advice. Thank you :) I'm slowly starting to get the hang of writing from the soul than forceful writing.

[Wesley Dingler]

You're always welcome. And I'm always here to encourage new writers, or maybe old writers who are just new to it.

From the soul is the only way I myself can write. Everything else I seem to botch badly.
I can't write from someone else's perspective because I have no valid point of reference.
Nor can any of us.

This is such a relatable write here, so nicely written and presented

Love is an amazing thing and so is the way you described in your writing, a night light would't hurt....
