When love has given naught but fierce flames’ throes And iced the hearts of lovers cold When those who wore the cloaks of adoration shed Their skins of constant care instead When essence of amour is freshly staled by discontent And those who love are now far spent When souls depart and leave their own for yet another’s Arms apart from those who loved each other Sometimes the only way for those who suffer to survive Is to learn that to love one’s self will keep the dying soul alive |

If all there is, is the flame then it is going to die fast,,,,the real thing has plenty of kindling to get it thru the colder times, and to flare up on long nights,,,good write Michelle I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike |
