Analysis of Flint To Steel



You spark my desire like flint to steel
Smoldering, then bursting into flame
Burning like seasoned hedge
Cast iron stove sides glowing bright red
I am anchored to you like a great ship in the harbor
Each link in the chain a beautiful memory
A link of laughter, of joy, of tears, of smiles
Linking us together for a lifetime of lifetimes.
You have filled me with love I have never known before.
Full spinnaker, ballooning in front of a great sailing vessel
On a downwind course to imperishable exhilaration
Forever pointing to the dawning of a new day together
