LJ IDOL 9, WEEK 19, TOPIC: KINDLING

[eeyore_grrl]

			kindling

you are fuel to my fire
slowly building me up
	stick by stick
	splinter by splinter

you are fuel to my fire
creating temperatures that you cannot comprehend
	hotter and hotter
	more brilliant and more brilliant

you are fuel to my fire
leading me into danger
	word by word
	kiss by kiss

you are fuel to my fire
creating me out of nothing
	kindling and spark
	air and purpose

you are fuel to my fire
be wary of heat
be wary of water
this flame will not be under control

Hear and see me read it here:

Watch on YouTube

Come on by later and vote for me and/or the rest of those still hangin' on!

It's so neat that you do the live read each week, too!

Thanks. I've said it before but it bears repeating: I feel poetry should be able to stand alone as written word or as spoken. But, that being said, I KNOW how I am hearing it when I am writing it and want others to know that too.

The spoken version adds a whole new dimension. Nice. AW
