Double Nonet on Ascending and Descending Poetry Contest

~Placed Fifth in Premier Contest~
love at start, like a flame, bright and shiny burns hot, emits warmth like the hearth in winter. when souls cuddle close and merge what an overwhelming feeling. the lovers swim in joy, reel on toes. but like tides wane, the first feel recedes charm of life gets stolen away drudgery slowly sets in. hot arguments prop up conflicts arise soon coldness creeps in hate intrudes and love wanes
