Poem Number 23207

i am thinking, just now;
remembering, really,
of times i come to you;
`
hands cupped above the hearth,
of yesterdays coals,
banked and smoldering.
~
and also of those nights,
i might fan them into flame;
~
or of other nights,
when i drink the fire of home;
its gift of peace and place;
in and empty universe.
~
i am thinking, just now;
remembering, really;
of the quilt you make for me
of your body and understanding.
~
how right it is to be tangled in you
safe and sure my hand
against the blaze which pours from you.
~
the gaze which speaks in flame
its love of its other
soothing, cooling, and forever...

Amazing, scrolling down, enjoying the poetry, making comments and then this unbelievable surprise. Life does this to us often. Looking for that gem that dropped somewhere and was lost and stumbling on a brighter gem.
How, wonderful to be the lady of the poem. To be loved like that!
I was here too with Audee, whom I grew to love, with Hermestri, and with you Fallon. I will copy your poem and keep it. What a poet.

some places totally stay the same...which is a good thing...it's nice to see familiar faces i agree with the last commenter, i remember poems from awhile ago, by fallon, hermestri, and P(i wish i had the right letter on the keyboard) to pronounce the name correctly..i remember you all.
Who is this? i am the one who wrote poetry long ago on here in 2004 and 2005 and 2003...my name was either ~~Rose and Anonymous...you all taught me with your comments on my poetry to have a thicker skin..=) thank you for that!! and Fallon this is a great poem..i like it! keep on writing =))

Rose, I am the last commentor before you. I sign sg. At one time, you had to be thick skinned to be on here. There were anons who were brutal and mean. I was surprised that artists like Fallon and Audee and Hemestri even came around. Now, you don't see that. Perhaps the anons are blocked out, edited. so much better. About your comment, "keep writing" how could they not? I would add keep posting. sg

Of course, Audee is gone from us. She is writing her beautiful poetry where we can't see it posted here.
Does anyone know if any of her poetry is in archives to be read somewhere here in AHA Poetry?
-------
Yes--go to "Author Search" and type in her name -- It will bring up all her posts! JFC

Thank you JFC.
