Thanks, CRW. I'm afraid you're right. Mix a horny male with a bit of alcohol and you have a lethal cocktail, almost bound to cause a hangover. Best wishes, Tony

Hello Tony,
A nice mix of rhyme, slant, internal,
even an antonym in your 'free verse' poem.
A fire consumes itself, the short lived flames cannot last
as does lust. Each turns to ash and dust, but sometimes,
a ember will flicker, a Phoenix will rise from dust and ash
but never from lies.
Heat wave poetry
Well done
Robert

Thanks, Robert. A bit of a change of pace from the French Letter - though one might imagine a connection. Thanks for your appreciation of the various rhyming techniques. Tony

I could actually picture Charles ruminating by the fireplace expressing those same thoughts.
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image and
presentation, Tony.
-I like your poem.
-The imagery is vivid, and
paints a word picture combining
the fire, flames, and lust.
-I like the comparison of
flames being lies, and how they
consume him, but it all
ends in ash and dust.
-Thanks for sharing.

You are very welcome, Tony. I liked the poem very much. I am enjoying going back and forth between poetry and story.

A beautiful free verse about how the fires of
lust take over and destroy what could have been a beautiful love.
Wonderful imagery throughout. Beautiful presentation.
Thanks for sharing.

Well, I have a feeling these flames of desire have done many males, as well as females, no good in the end. I enjoyed reading your poem. It flowed musically, almost like dancing flames.

Comment from Treischel
What an intriguing Free Verse poem full of fiery action, as the cauldron of desire turned to lust that destroys all reason. I loved the blazing imagery. It describes condition that most men need to be aware of. Sighs and signals can be misread. In this day and age, that can lead to catastrophe. Well said.

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Tony,
Thank you for sharing this well-written free verse about how desire can be the downfall of a man or woman. Desire is a close cousin to lust, and the two emotions can gain traction if one gives them free reign,
Well done,
~patty~

Good evening Tony, I really like your poem about desire... it's a really nice change of pace! I am fairly familiar with that form of desire from my earlier days... the kind you think is 'love' but turns out to be nothing because, well honestly... he just wanted to get some and as soon as he did he was out the door. I have no idea how that happens for men! I didn't think it did.

Thanks for this review, Susan. Often a cause of heartbreak, I'm afraid - and worse, in many cases. All the best, Tony

Thanks, DJ. Glad you enjoyed it. The Gort na Gloca Mora is quite appropriate - the field of the big rocks. That more or less exactly describes the hillside where we live! All the best, Tony
Comment from victor 66
Desire is an interesting concept. "to wish or long for; want, to express a wish to obtain; ask for; a craving for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment:
a request." My grandmother, who raised a family during The Depression, taught me, there's a big difference between "want" and "need". And then there was always, "Pay as you go". I don't believe I use the word "desire" very often. I'm not sure how it serves you. "If you want too much, you will end up with too little." Just ask Grandma.

A different time and several generations apart from the millennials, I don't quite understand their philosophy, but it is interesting to watch. Best wishes, Toney.
