The Flames of Love

The Flames of Love

 

The flames of a heated love

can burn a heart to ashes

when a sudden wayward wind

feeds the flames as it passes.

 

When the heat of attraction is confined

the flames of love build desire

until two hearts are engulfed

and like a match, they spark a fire.

 

When contact creates combustion

loves flames quickly spread

and the hearts that it touches 

begin to glow a fiery red.

 

When the flames of love

are extinguished

both are ashen, broken, and burnt.
