glaring flame

Love's flame flickers, briefly it may shine, But fading away, this truth we find. In the journey of hearts, it doesn't last, Yet memories linger from love's vibrant past. Passionate flames, intense desire's fire, Eventually dwindle, feelings tire. But even as love transforms and evolves, Its essence remains, the heart still revolves. Through separation and hearts that ache, Love's lessons shape us, new paths we take. Cherish the love, be it present or past, For its transient nature, each moment make it last.                       -Ray foster
