The dawn of love, so magical and new,
Two bodies set aflame with burning kiss.
Enchanted world, and only for the two.
No other pair has ever loved like this.
Young love, a wonder while its passions last,
Must change its form if love's to long endure.
Too soon the thrill of love once new, is past.
It should condense to essence now, more pure.
At times love's embers start a blazing flame,
Soon cooling down to just a lovely glow.
No need for these to play a youthful game,
Their dreams fulfilled as both of them now know.
For though the young and foolish long for fire,
The glowing embers, wiser hearts desire.

lovely and so well constructed, Joyce. I am fast becoming an admirer.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

A very mature look at love and lust!  I liked the scheme (honestly I'm a huge fan of ryhme and structure) and it conveyed the messaged beautfully...dare I say, poetically.  :P  Great work!

This is great Joyce!  I doubt if you'll ever convince the young though, that "fire' is not better.  That takes maturity.

Ah, but there's still fire in those embers. It just doesn't consume as quickly.   Another nice read from you.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

This is a well written realistic look at romance. If only the young would listen and believe.
