LOVE'S FLAME

Speak not to me
Of lust
Bold flame
That scorches all but time
Nor love
Forever’s burning embers
Cold keeper of this flame

Hello John, You said it so well: the temporary aspect of lust and the permeance of love, or at least true love. Your poem reminded me of C.S. Lewis who wrote a book called The Four Loves which include Eros: Passion and Lust, Philia: Brother Love, Storge: Familial Love and Agape: Sacrificial Love. Well Inked! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
