~These Flames Will Burn On ~

Who says that love has to ease from passion fire?
Or that we shall lose this constant urgent desire?
Where is it written that I can’t still go weak?
Or that I know I’m all you’ll ever want or seek?
Why do people say that passion can’t still flame?
Whenever I hear you softly breath out my name
I know that for all time I will still burn for you
And I know that you'll still want me as much too

Who says that you won’t still inspire such heat?
Or that my heart will one day not skip a beat?
What sort of rule is it that says this will fade?
Or that we won’t recall the love we have made?
Where is the proof that this is a passing phase?
Or that love is like being lost in a maze
I know my way out but I don’t want to go away
And I know that with you I will always stay

Who declares that the flames that lick my skin
Will fade soon and we’ll no longer wish to sin?
What sort of rule is it that says I won’t ignite?
When you touch me in the middle of the night
I thought like the others that we’d cool this heat
And my heart wouldn’t race and my pulse not beat
I know now that I will continue to burn for you
And our flaming passions will always flare too

There’ll be no dying flames or embers growing cool
We’ll continue to be immersed in loves deep pool
The flames will burn on throughout night and day
And we will continue to invite each other to play
The touch of your silken skin will always thrill me
And my lips will always trail across you heatedly
There’ll be no slowing down we will shed fire
And you and I will always soar on ever higher

'Deer dear heart You can love, you can. One of my sisters, Fran, two years younger, blonde and as dim as anything. not so much my younger prettier sister, as my younger and dimmer sister I'm getting to the point, I know I babble. Anyway darling Fran used to always say to me 'Say your Grace before you eat you Marsha mellows. I didn't say it was a witty saying I just said she used to say it. I told you she was dimmer by far.
Anyway you bring the mellows and I'll provide the melting Marsha. Mmmmm

"Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!"

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

I especially enjoyed the questioning lines of this very heartfelt and well written poem.

Thank you again my friends for reading this. you must remember this is England here and although I'm a softy Southerner it still gets very cold here. Okay it's not snowing yet but it's on its way we've been told.

Opeth what? asks Marsha with a look of fallen innocence on her face I'm a good girl I am Truly

Peaches thank you I like a bit of heat you know

Noah you are soooooooooo very very sweet thank you.

Kari, darling sister of my heart, okay I'm your younger prettier wittier sister, I wouldn't say Marsha mellows. Look dearest heart some of us are just born to be ornaments, I'm an ornament. (And no I am not not not doing that challenge It's too hard. So don't think you can shame me into it either

Robert thank you very muchly I'm glad you liked it
