Campfire Poem by James Casey

Campfire

I sit by the fire with my own thoughts
As the flames do flicker and dance
Of the one who is here sitting beside me
The love that's given me a chance

I give her my heart tho it's only the start
Of a love that wasn't first glance
Then our journey did start when I followed my heart
She has taken me on a wondrous dance

'' Soul mates', she said as I lifted my head
And looked into those soulful brown eyes
'' So lets go to bed, ' then changed it instead
To ' 'let's go to sleep', Ah that woman is wise

I sit by the fire with my own thoughts
As the flames do flicker and dance
Of the one who was sitting beside me
My love who's given me a chance
