She craved the fire in his soul
he fed her flames in verse
Their flesh combined made her feel whole
abolishing loves curse
Desire dances on the breeze
passion fuels the fire it stirs
His love for her, displayed with ease
as past and present blurs
A lifelong bond of blood and tears
broken by loves true kiss
Erasing both doubt and fear
into a world of bliss

The Path to Salvation
The late autumn evening air filled the monk's lungs, but it wasn't the season that chilled his bones. The heavy-handed presence of evil he had sensed upon entering the woods surrounding this mountain village had not bothered to conceal itself from him.

How To Keep Your Little Weather Machine From Eating Your House
1. First Things First: Not a Magic Box. Look. Whistles of that chrome cylinder in your hallway? It is not here to have an easier life. It's a mirror. A hungry one. My next-door friend Frank had it installed by him when Martha died, because he could always dial up "Sunny & 72°" and get his way.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

This is so gorgeous in so many ways, Kelli! Passionate and breathtakingly expressed. The rhymes are divine. I loved this line so much, "he fed her flames in verse" 😍😍 You are so talented!
I pray this be true expression for all you & yours.
Expressive poetry - lovely to read and flows well.

I felt the passion in this...you always have such beautiful flow and imagery. Wonderful work, truly :)
Love that! So touching and sweet and with vivid imagery too! Love the use of fire in this poem.
I loved the whole poem, but those two opening lines are absolutely epic! Way to go, Kelli!
