At the first meeting of a boy and a girl, the slumbering embers had been awoken With words and glances, dancing light burst forth As time passed, sparks ignited and the flickering flame grew It fed on youth and the new Soon sorrows and grief were thrown to the heart But nothing could quench their hunger and thirst It was a forceful blaze and the crowds watched in awe at the waves and the haze Passion consumed the two beings with growing intensity The inferno cast out a howling roar, with the duo of hearts desperate for more Each moment they were parted, the sensations were sorely missed In their minds eye they were still embraced in a kiss It was the marriage of peace and the striking power of the storm They were stirred by restlessness as their minds were bent with longing As this love of fire matured in its age, it feasted on the beauty surrounding The letters of the great poets, The words of the countless tomes, The sound of stunning chords, The eye alluring views of artistry, And the words from the Giver of Life Nothing escaped consumption But soon, they were tired of the old ways The beauty of the world was not enough to feed the furnace They left the face of the earth in search of new waters, and left the air far behind The love fire danced among celestial bodies, and spaces of dreams And so it does evermore, awaiting new creation
