Love's Treacherous Road
What a treacherous road true love can take
for paramours eager to taste desire,
but one their kindred hearts would not forsake.
For Water and Fire, passion meant heartbreak.
Intimacy for them could never transpire.
What a treacherous road true love can take
His fervid flames would make her steam and quake.
Her touch would drown hope for them to conspire,
but one their kindred hearts would not forsake.
What a doleful duo Nature did make,
mourning for love, stymied in a quagmire.
What a treacherous road true love can take.
He risked his life on the shore of her lake
when his blaze was nigh snuffed upon a pyre,
but one their kindred hearts would not forsake.
Their need to embrace caused a yearning ache
for Woebegone Water and Forlorn Fire,
but one their kindred hearts would not forsake.
What a treacherous road true love can take.
