When you are young,
Fire is in every move you make,

Fire in your feelings, fire in your motives,
Fire in your desires

There's fire between you both,
When you are that young

Naivety, and insight are scorched away in the flames
Burnt into ashes while the flames rage higher
Your world, a smoldering cloud of "now"

There is no future in that fire
Just immense heat, and passion,
Flames that breed lust,
You both are willing to sacrifice yourselves in the inferno

But like you,
Every fire needs oxygen to breath

When you are young,
That fire can be smothered,
Easily as putting a lid over a lit candle
Never to be lit again

Other times, it can remain dormant,
Until, the lessons learned,
Reignite the kindling of connection
and the fire sparks a blaze once more
Anyone who has been there, knows :)
