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.

Passions fires often burn hot and fast burning out in a hurry. Nicely written
Thank you, SB. Not all the time, some last forever.
Beautiful and so true, some last a lifetime, others end up in the cemetery of lost love. 🌹
Thank you, Teddy. Yes, such is what they call life. Where is this cemetery? I need to visit.
they say there's no smoke without fire but I have grown to dispute that hot potato and now wear nothing but asbestos undergarments, just to be on the safe side .. 🩲🔥 🙂
Thank you, Neville. I venture to say your undergarments won't protect your heart but may help if you drop that hot potato in your lap. Just trying to look on the funny side of life.
Beautiful
Thank you, Tony36.
You're welcome
But the memories will never leave us Phil.
