Will you love me now as you did before <br />in your youthful days? <br />Can you will yourself back to them <br />and show me all the ways <br />you would shower me with your love <br />and never let me go? <br />Or are they forgotten now, my love? <br />Is there just the afterglow? <br /> <br />Youthful days and youthful ways <br />are intoxicating fire. <br />All you have inside of you <br />is uncontrollable desire. <br />You know nothing else. <br />You'd rather not. <br />You think to yourself <br />'My blood runs hot.' <br /> <br />Is it possible to stoke that fire anew <br />or is that just a dream? <br />For me, my answer's simple. <br />My heart is still the steam <br />that showers my thoughts of only you <br />and gives me what I need. <br />My youthful ways that are still alive <br />makes my heart to bleed <br />for you.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/burning-desire-15/
