"Flames In The Wind" - by Glendis Thomason

Flames In The Wind


Have you ever noticed a match when struck?
From nothing comes the intense raging light
Strong enough to brighten the darkest corner
Settling finally to a warm, steady glow.
This was our love.

Have you ever noticed a flame in the wind?
It flickers & dims, the warmth soon taken.
And yet it still burns, its fate tied to the wind..
Should the flame be so weak or the wind so strong
It dies in that which gave it birth.
This, too, was our love.

"Moments" - by Francis Lynn

Moments


It wasn't the brandy
Or the soft music of a darkened room
That brought out moment on.
We've each had these before, alone & together.

And thoughts of love or tender touches
Meant to bring our passions into play
Belonged to yesterday's tide.
A time gone out to sea.

Embraced together, crying, for ourselves,
Each other, for things that were, or should have been.
This was our time, this was our moment.
Together, last night.

In our tomorrows
No darkest room, no sweetest drink,
No softest sound or love that we may yet to know
Will ever be so intimate, so cherished
As when our souls ran down our cheeks.
