Paint With Fire

Perhaps love is a crimson fire And burns the soul ever deep In glorious waves of its desire Never chastened by its sleep To be in love and brave the flame With earthly want and quiet need In softer sighs the hearts proclaim The gentle hands when love is freed How long the pause as time conveys Forever caught by waves that last In memories flame, a kiss replays Remains a picture in the past Ever fading from flames that stay contest ..Choose your acrostic 7/6/14
