Premiere Contest WinnerBurning Love

Burning love like a surging kindled flame 
          wrapped with ardent desire. 
      Even if the minds could go lame, 
                    the hearts are on fire.  

For if minds succumb to the test of time,
          the hearts would hold their ground. 
      Even if hope refuses to rhyme, 
                    love is all around. 

And somewhere, far, beyond eternity 
          the flames of love will thrive. 
      Against tides of monstrosity,
                    love will survive.
