Debbie, this is a nice "reflective" poem that is creative and original in presentation and has balanced a-a-b-b rhyme. The only thing that I would suggest is to use another word for "warmth" so as not to repeat. Well done. :0 GracieAnn

A poem of warmth and affection, but also of solace.
To know oneself is a virtue and to be comfortable with ones self is even a greater sense of being.
A beautiful write,
Best wishes,
RG

THis is a traditional style, a sweet poem about true and lasting love. I like how you've put it together, but the last line could use some work, I think. You rearranged the words to make it rhyme and it sounds awkward. Would be okay in the poem but not for the last line, which should be one of the best lines, if not THE best.

It is love that we'll always share
Because for each other we care

Try something like...

With you I'm at home anywhere
OR
You'll never know how much I care.
OR
something else. :)

I enjoyed this cozy poem quite well. The intimacy and ease of the narration is felt keenly by the reader.

You have managed to set a warm atmosphere with your words.

As I read this particular piece I felt a yearning for a less technological time, when people actually had conversations round the fireplace, speaking and listening to one another instead of staring at a television or texting on a cell phone.

Warm regards
Ramona Hughes

Yes, I agree. We have gained so much in terms of technology, but we have lost a lot too. Thank you, my friend. Hugs~Debbie

A very tender poem that is filled with love. I imagine the sparking embers could also be a metaphor for the emotions this couple still clearly feels for one another. Thank you for sharing.
