Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame
Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame
(c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair
You make longing feel like poems
all soaked in sweat and truth
they flow out unashamedly
sometimes unkempt, uncouth
and as they flow somehow they show
the yearnings of our youth
I come to you as fire and shadow
filling you with pleasured pain
pulsing you to overflowing
striving to relieve the

Eternal Flame
Beneath the sky so vast and wide,
A restless soul, a storm inside.
Chasing dreams no hands can hold,
A hunger fierce, a story told.
Not fear, nor pain, nor fleeting doubt,
Could dim the fire or snuff it out.
Through shadowed paths, where few will tread,
A voice within my heart has said:
"Press on, for life is but a spark,
A fleeting

Eternal Flame
Quote: The ability to harness fire lives in all humans.
Explore it, and you will understand its importance
Nourish its flame and it will always keep you alive.

The fire that burns within me is my soul's town crier
like the stars and the moon hungering for night's pyre
I too hunger for the flames

My Soul's Eternal Flame
my soul is an eternal flame
born from the first breath of life
that lives on the edge of eternity
where it quenches my thirsty heart
with wondrous wonders from wishing wells
that flow from the trembling tremors of each breath
cast upon the vibrant glows of life's yearnings
that rise with each glorious glowing ray of morning
and sits in the gentle

Eternal Flame
let me be the light in the darkness
the flame to your fire
I love with my entire heart
Let me show you true desire
Eternal love that'll flourish
that'll bloom and stay
just show me that it's time
and your not just the same.
Show me I can release my love
I've lost many
to GOD above
I've wiltered and weathered
and never been shown

The Eternal Flame
A magical stroll through the woods I go.
Petrichor filling my sense of smell.
This connection I’m feeling is more I know,
Content I be whilst my inhibitions fell.
The wind blowing my thoughts to every tree,
As birds sing softly raising my spirit higher,
I’ve now come to realise all that I see,
All

A baby is born
Dawns a new morn
A centenarian passes away
Sad close to a day
A new life arrives
An older departs --
Transmitted, the flame

Eternal Flame
Without you, the days are so long
& sometimes it's hard to just carry on.
You gave life & love to all things
The joy of giving was what you would bring.
I see your smile inside my head,
It just isn't fair that you have to be dead.
I know you suffered though all the while
You held your head high

Eternal Flame
I hold a light
That barely flickers in the night,
It's wick almost drowned
In the melted wax tears,
Yet it willfully holds on
Burning a bright blue.
It is the candle lit in your name,
And I have waited
A lifetime for it to die,
For a strong wind to
Blow it out, or
A Light to eclipse its glow.
Still it burns,
Faintly, but

Eternal Flame
The flames still strong
And the light is burning bright
As it did when you ignited it
On our very first night
This unbridled passion
Still lives in my soul
And the physical attraction
I’m still unable to control.
Mind-boggling emotions
Still envelope my being
As it’s your enticing form
In my dreams I am seeing.
Our years have not diminished
And our love is still there

Keeper of the Eternal Flame
A bleeding and shattered heart
lies hidden
inside a fortress of elemental
ice walls
Kept safe from the curious,
callus, and cruel
deep within her maze of frozen
shimmering halls
She watches, waits from high
above
a silent, eternal, deadly vigil
waiting, waiting for dangers
latest calls
On blackest wings of midnight
silk
She is mistress of both the sea
and air
No

Eternal Flame
A Spark in time
Shining ever so Bright
Through the darkness
Of this Life
Guided by... God's Holy Light
With Satan's fiery darts
Always missing our Eternal Spark
Which in turn
Spark shall remain

Without Blemish or Blame
Forever Love... Flows
Into God's Eternal Flame
Remember...Keep your Eternal Spark Love growing
Into God's Glorious Flaming Fire... ~Burning Bush~
