I surrender up unto the means
of keeping love with me
and breathe within the passion feel
to fuel the flames of need.

Not me but you who stokes the fire
and enflames a woman’s mind
until I think I’m bound to die
on this roller coaster love/desire.

Up, up, and there to stay
a moment, hour, I cannot say
but time is but a dream today
and love always goes away.

It’s history and yet it’s not
for still the flames are hot
and the snap, crackle, pop,
now tied into a knot.

Come, come, let’s untie
this bubble of desire
and now release the mind
into a new and better life.  

But mind wishes not to sleep
in the fullness of peace
and marches on to the beat
of life after the heat.

Fire and flames and ecstasy
and time dissipates the feel
because too intense the honesty
displayed in a lover’s dream!

"...time is but a dream today
and love always goes away...."

Thank you so much, Alison!

Icebox - Hmm?  I think all of life IS a dream never mind "can be" but we will find out for sure in the course of time.  Thank you for reading.

When you have done all that you can do in any situation in life, surrendering can be sweet for it can offtimes end our suffering.

"Not me but you who stokes the fire
and enflames a woman’s mind
until I think I’m bound to die
on this roller coaster love/desire."

~ Oh, I do so know what you mean!

Honey, when you are "Up, up" may you be "there to stay"!!!

Loving hug,
Linda

Thank you all so much for your wonderful replies!  There are things we know but do not know and then all we can do is just wait until we do know.  I guess that doesn't make sense but I've a feeling that it will in time.
