Unlit Fire

 

 

 

The hearth is there

So is the wood

Fuel plenty remains

If only I would

 

Few embers are warm

Not to ashes yet

A slow fire within

Brings on the sweat

 

But all doors are bolted

All windows closed

The bellows abandoned

To stay enclosed

 

 Bring not a flint

Anywhere there close

In case by chance

A hazard it does pose

 

Let the warmth be

Light not a blaze

For afraid I am

Of its wild craze

 

Know it will rage bright

Instantly to ignite

But if fuel of love is

Denied, it will be reviled
