Eternal Fire of Passion

they argued over nothing
as if there was no tomorrow
unqualified feelings of rejection
reciprocation hurt and unbridled anger

alcohol infused the situation
amplified anxiety and fearful desolation
terrorized emotions and reason

eventually they looked at the bleak picture
they were presenting
and it looked surreal in deception
until splashes of black resolved 
for colours of the rainbow to remerge

over trials of a difficult year
they had forgotten themselves
had looked after everybody else’s needs
misplaced the key to their hearts

but they kept on talking
in honesty
without reservation
and were rewarded
to find out that their love was infinite
and the fire of marriage eternal
as they renewed their vows
