Extinguished Fire of Love
Upon the hearth I lay an open flame
Flickering orange and red inflamed
Roaring as a lion hunting for game
Extinguish by another desire
Taking my kindling and covering mine
Left is a spark among rubble and dire
Smoke without signals of laughter
The wood shed now empty and bare
One tree is left standing now falling
Among an empty forest of broken branches
Bare limbs dead leaves falling to the ground
Gathered and placed into bags
Waiting to be thrown away
