A Love Poem

It had to happen sooner or later...a poem. I'll keep it brief for those of you who can't tolerate the stuff. Comment if you will.


A Love Poem

It is an incandescent love,
Brighter than a burning angel,
Brighter than the eye of God.
And with that light comes heat;
More than enough to melt the stars,
and fire the frozen moon.

Nice, Jon. Thank you for that. To me, heat is passion. Your poem makes that seem okay.
And now a new assignment....I have heat/passion for new assignments!
And, oh yeah, anytime you want to talk about politics on my blog try not to hold back. ;)

I feel that your juxtapositions of fire and ice illustrate effectively the power of passion to "melt the moon." What I found lacking was the cavernous dark that needs illumination. But then what do I know about poetry.

Nice Job Jon,

Posting the poem was courageous as well.

Heat of passion as Susan said, and heat of pain . . . I love your poems and I admit I am jealous. So there! To "fire the frozen moon" is to melt her, to summer her, to ignite her - and that can be as dangerous as driving a 12 cylinder Jaguar (she'll give you the ride of your life and it may just kill you!) The moon represents so many things . . . it sheds light on that that is ready to be harvested. It evokes passion and madness; is mythical and scientific; is a receiver and a provider yet a reflection of the source. It is the female energy, an ever changing waxing and waning entity. And that is only one side of her! Boy, we are complicated, aren't we?

I have no comment. I wanna comment. But I have no comment. It's a poem. There. That's my comment.
