Light My Fire
by Cole Millermy heart and soul
are weak structures
of dead wood and
piles of kindling
your heart and soul
are strong structures
of gasoline and
pails of kerosene
love is a deadly match 12/14/2002 Author's Note: come on baby... light my fire.

| Posted by Agnes Eva on 04/15/03 at 05:34 AM i love it. what an awesome metaphor and powerful closing statement (small frowny face for concept of girl as the weak/dead one, but that's just my feminism talkin) |

| Posted by Agnes Eva on 04/15/03 at 04:10 PM hey, just wanted to add something to that feminism bit above- of course we sometimes feel weak, as in 'weak with desire' or 'dead' from love jadedness. it's not like you're a guy putting women down as weak. i saw the beginning of the poem in an unnecessary angle, and coming back to it, i like it even more and understand it better. and I love that you're expanding on Jim Morrison's brainchild :) |
