Breathing Fire

Posted on November 24, 2016 by Sue Vincent

dawn

Green glass secrets melt away,

Naked flowers in the breeze,

Lingering ghosts of old magic,

Smoke and stars

Sailing the morning.

We were young…

Time was liquid

And we breathed fire…

Prisoners of desire

In a velvet night.

    I really like this poem. It could be the lyrics of a song by someone classy like Dory Previn or Judy Collins
