Notes About The Poem

Flames

Flames

Love is full of moments, 
that are truly intense. 
They have passion, 
and fervor
to be kept, 
for later... 
when the fires dim, 
or even go out. 
They can be rekindled. 
All that is ever needed, 
is the smallest spark. 

Love is also
water and rain. 
it is cold and wet, 
and insane. 
It runs a fever, 
and takes you to dangerous 
places, with crazy ideas... 
in your head. 

Why not sing, 
and dance... 
at every chance?
Be more than you can be. 
Be more than the world 
considers you are, 
because you are a star. 

God makes only the best, 
he even puts them to the test... 
to make sure, 
they are resilient, 
hardwearing and durable, 
in the storms, 
as in the calm ponds
between the flowing 
of flash floods, 
that overcome some
completely, 
and leave only 
the survivors
still forever... 
full of faith.
