Love Never Dies

The fire of love

Can never die.

But is shortly extinguished

From time to time.

Sometimes the fire

Burns hot and bright;

While anticipating the date

(Or what happens that night.)

Sometimes the fire

Barely smolders.

But don't worry,

It gets better as you get older.

Right now my fire

Is just at its birth;

But for you,

Ready to consume the Earth.

So hold that fire

Close to you.

But don't let it burn

So that pain ensues.

The fire can burn

Much too fast.

Perhaps like it's happened

Much too often in the past.

Just let it grow

At its own pace.

Before you know it,

It's all over the place.

Pick the right tree

For the right fire.

Or the bulk of the flame,

May too quickly expire.

But don't forget

The smoldering ashes;

The ones left from

The untimely disaster.

They're the ones

That can be reawakened,

If the proper time

And care are taken.

Remember,

Fire is warm,

And to that

Little love bugs swarm.

With my friends

I conspire,

OK...
