Burnished, Burning Fire

Love is blind to sorrow,
Passionate in pain,
Pleasant in demeanor,
Sweet in its refrain,

Gentle in its growing,
Sensual in its touch,
Love is all or nothing,
Too little and too much,

Yielding in its yearning,
Fervent in its name,
Senseless in its gravity,
Playful in its game,

Fleeting in its moment,
Delight in its desire,
Love is lost in lustre,
Burnished, burning fire.
