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.
