Inattentive Love

Keep The Kindling Near

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

It’s far too often lovers share a burning love like ours

That fiery love not too unlike a hot bouquet of flowers

But unstoked flames remind again how rapidly love sours

The storm clouds of complacency will douse the flame with showers
