The sands of time
flow too warm for me
to walk through
year after year.
My feet recoil from the
heated memories
burned into my
inner core.

I've peeled away
many layers of you,
yet you remain a burning desire
and I cannot reach inside
and douse the fires.

Why can't I remove
the seed of Love
that will never bear fruit?
Why can't I
cool this flame
that consumes me?

The heat of the moment
is long gone.
Yet the embers smoulder
with hopes that
you will re-ignite
the flames of Love
that refuse to be
extinguished
from this
scorched heart.

And I don't even know
if you still breathe.

Duncan, thanks for burning this title for me.
I already had the poem written but the title refused me until I read your "with disclaimer" poem. Jiminy thanks you.

Well Kacy, the title's the only part of mine that made much sense, even to me...lmao.  You certainly did it more justice than I did.  Very cool poem.

Kacy, there is so much emotion and feeling
in this beautiful poem. You have an amazing
ability to pull the reader in with your strong
emotions you write down. Thank you for sharing
your heart with us.
