Blue Heat
"Crystal blue persuasion....."*
When you were introduced,
grandma had that eye—
that keen recognition
that she knew you
were the chemistry;
a combustible wick
for a perfect flame
swirling searing
climbing
the tornado chimney
to overtake any room.
* From the from 1969 hit song Crystal Blue Persuasion..... written and performed by Tommy James and The Shondells

The spacing of the words fits so well, I can picture this perfectly. Your deft hand at writing shows you, too, are a lover of words, poetry.
What beautiful images you created.
