Ice and Burn
Love, like a scented candle,
sweetly warms.
Two flames burn as one, and guide
through darkness.
Tho gusts of wind
can make it
flicker and bend,
the fire is forever.
.
But sometimes
love burns quickly,
and the glow once shared
grows dim.
One extinguishes the flame,
and scented memories linger
on wisps
of smoke-filled air
that in a short time....
disappears.

Two flames burn as one, and guide

and the glow once shared
grows dim.
One extinguishes the flame,
and scented memories linger
on wisps
of smoke-filled air
that in a short time....
