Lamp of Love
The elements are calling…
Intentions are no good.
Rain comes in masses beyond imagine
Each drop in search of saturation
It’s goal to oust the flame.
Rain comes in storms, with gusts of wind
So strong, and always certain.
Its goal to extinguish all light
To end all luminosity.
But love maintains its magic.
My love is the authentic brand,
Most durable of all.
This lantern is my lamp of love
Ignited by my heart
Immortal as long as you breathe.
The flames move with my blood as one
A cackle for each cell.
Though thunder never shows demise
Our bond weathers the storm.
Our chain is just too strong.
Like lightning’s path, ever so distant
Still we hold together.
A world in which there is no calm
Yet we can find our own.
Our flame burns on eternally.
