Different Flames

Different Flames

Remembering when I was bold
Hard to believe we got this old
The flames from fire,warm us tonight

It started with a friendly wink
Fueled by courage from my drink
The flames of passion,burning bright

Laying together in our bed
Nothing really needs to be said
The flames of life,drift out of sight




LIGHT A FLAME! Contest/Nette Onclaud
