when the flame of love lights up your life, <br />dreams become facts and our hearts burst <br />into bloom like a sun flower on a sunny day, <br />entwined together like little daisies <br />our souls dance to rhythms unfathomed <br /> <br />but when the flame of love dims <br />things seem subtly out of focus, <br />and things once unsaid <br />are heard from the lips that kissed <br />in bliss swearing at heaven’s door <br />our love is for better for worse <br /> <br />and finally when the flame of love dies <br />the light of love goes out on many things, <br />there life becomes a tragedy <br />and not the adventure that marked the entrance <br />the pain is a flame that will never go out <br />even if the Fire Service keeps vigil all nights<br /><br />Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flames-of-love/
