***
went up in smoke a long time ago,
lifelines of red worth hanging onto,
their suitors driven crazy thinking of you.
You close your eyes and smile,
oblivious to the longing that won’t end,
painful cycles of hello and goodbye,
the ache of a heart disconnected from you.
If you could just imagine for a moment
how you look like flaming red lava
flowing into paradise and leaving the
tourists with their hearts forever on fire…
Tourists who drop everything to melt
into your arms for the rest of eternity,
because there’s nowhere they’d rather be.
I am that tourist; you are my eternal flame.
