The fires of love <br />can burn out so easily <br />if they are not tended that well. <br />They need nurturing and fed <br />to sustain the passion well. <br /> <br />The fires of love <br />will smoulder and die <br />if the coals are not stoked <br />every once in a while <br />to sustain passions glow. <br /> <br />The fires of love <br />are not only for the youth. <br />Even in age we mellow, <br />we must still let the embers know <br />the fire burns within the passions well. <br /> <br /> <br />(19 August 2011)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fires-of-love/
