My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Radiant

​This is a poem I wrote in 2014. I imagine all of my poetry set to music, though I am rarely able to come up with tunes of my own. This is one time that I succeeded. It has a Billy-Joel-style sound to it.

​She is fire
She is flame
She's dancing light and color
And impossible to tame
She is all-consuming
Brilliant and pure
Her energy my ecstacy
My luminescent lure
She is dazzling light
Bringing her life to the night
Leaping, licking, snapping
A most mesmerizing sight
Hidden danger exists
Under her healing warmth
Her wholesome heat I crave
And the most amazing show on Earth

She is fire
She is flame
Forever changing
Always not the same
My entrancing inferno
Blazing in the dark
My beauty, my cutie
My little jumping spark
Unpredictable vengeance
Unpredictable grace
I know that it's pointless
Trying to keep her in her place
Some say I'm crazy
Some say I'm a case
Because I love a woman
With golden hair and rosy face

She is fire
She is flame
We keep each other going
When comes the rain
I blow her kisses
When she gets down
Stirring up her world
So she can rise off the ground
She is beautiful
Of this I've no doubt
I cherish her ever smile
Every laugh and every pout
My lover, my lady
My firecracker girl
I'm gonna take you
To illuminate the world

She is fire
She is flame
I stare at her for hours
Until she calls my name
I fuel her with cards and flowers
So her smoke can reach the skies
Though she often brings me tears
I don't dare close my eyes
Her scent lingers on
My clothes for days on end
She burns in my memory
And will always burn again
Her glowing embers
Bring me wonder and delight
And I will stay till sunrise
And tend her through the night

You're beautiful
Of this I've no doubt
Burn me if you must
But don't ever ever go out
