Fire

Promise me the security of our relationship

Shall nothing wedge between our harmonic souls

Dancing, such as the flames of a grand fire

As most fires start out robust

Forging sparks and uncontrollable wisps of true bliss

Forget not to keep placing more kindle

As it will die out

While also cleaning out the ash

As it is now apart of the past

Nice metaphor! Like the idea of the need to add kindling! Jennifer
