when did a camp fire
become a wild fire
raging through
two hapless
souls blinded
in love with love--
how did it all grow
to a spreading inferno
with bait that satiated
opportunities denied
threatening what is
to be lost forever--
carefully built
solidity over years
of hard work and much
sacrifice, seeing the long-term
goals, knowing that a flash in the pan
often ends in a bitter rainstorm--
when did a camp fire
become a wild fire
raging through
two hapless
souls wounded
so stop now--
