love abides

Passion is fleeting
it is a fleet burning
sails aflame,
magazines explode

There is passion
in your tight form
in your words
the turn of your face

How can I describe you
jealous thoughts
silence me
lest anyone else see

the perfect curves
the Grecian face
the parted lips
the gentle touch

it does not end
when effort is spent
and bodies lie twined
breathless gasping

still there it is
the flames reflected
in those flashing eyes
never extinguished

And it draws me to you
inexorably again and again
threatening my life
overwhelming caution

but fleeting still
yet something keeps us
sustains us together
comforts our separation

what is it that we share
that survives the flames
the cold nights apart
only love abides
