Bemused

I feel the warmth rise As I stir the burning embers Feeling you near though you are far from my vision The eyes of my heart see you clearly Heavenly thoughts have brought you forth And I find myself lost in the stars, floating with the clouds I hear the crackling of the wood And the moment stops Slowly I become transfixed in orange, red, and blue dancing flames I become consumed like the timbers Burning with dreams and hopes of you The essence of the honeysuckle is carried by the breeze Straight to the senses that are bemused in you A sigh is released and a shiver courses my soul A smile rises with the flames And once more I become lost in thoughts of you
