Old lovers – they smolder,
But new flames burn;
(Melded and Molten,
Alloyed and Emboldened)
together, they solder -
all that I wished to discern.
In slow heat, in simmering embers
The mind cherishes, what the body remembers.
But in a warming blaze
In a fleeting phase
To ashes, to ashes!
My will - surrenders.
Up in flames! In plumes, in fumes!
You scorch, you scald, you willfully consume!
But I admire your fire,
Your fury, your desire,
extinguished too soon
upon our unlit pyre.
Warm my home, my hearth
My Heart!
Warn my heart --
it is worn.
