I've seen a couple of entries using passion as a metaphor. In most of them the word "fire" is included, so I'm unclear. I asked on a thread in the contest entry "area" -- You've written a fine metaphor without the use of the word "fire" for sure!

Lovely chasing of metaphor through this short form. Like a haiku with an extra syllable. Could you take it further and have 'glowing gaze' instead of 'enduring'?

I like your exploration of the prompt here, from "embers" to "hearts ablaze" to ignition. You've used this imagery well to describe the heat and passion of a physical relationship.

Well I definitely think this fulfilled the brief with your metaphor of fire. I feel quite hot reading it:)) Some fine imagery enhanced by that internal rhyme. Well done and good luck, Eugene! Debbie

The words express passion and true love so would say this meet the requirement for this contest. You fired off a nice one line metaphor that had some internal rhyme.

This is a well written piece of metaphorical poetry in which you have described a fire as passionate love. You have used some vivid imagery in this short poem. Well done.
