Some flames in a heart miss several heartbeats
Some are tested and tried…but are tired
Some soon retire
Some do
Some never do
Some flames of hats search to fit on a bald pate
Some stick unto a baldness to the end
Some never do
Some do
Some flames in a dream stretch out of reach
Some reach reality in one stretch
Some never do
Some do
Some flames flicker out of the fire…and die
Some flames abide in the fire…sine die
Some never do
Some do
Some candle flames light in the wind
Some inflame even the whirlwind
Some never do
Some do
Some flames of hearts stay around
When days of happiness abound
Some hearts sweat it out
When sounds of sadness surround
Some never do
Some do
Some flames in young lips grow old
Some warm kisses grow cold
Some do
Some never do
Some flames of fair-weather friends leave
When fair-weather leaves at the eaves
Some do
Some never do
Some flames of promises are spoken…to be broken
Some promises are lip-laden…unspoken
Some promises are as good as unspoken
Some never do
Some do
Some flames of flowers wither and fall
Some flowers do not wither at all
Some flowers..deflower in stormy weather
Some flowers…flower in all weather
Some never do
Some do
Some flames smile to sparkle
Some smiles sparkle
Some smiles put diamonds to shame
Some smiles pulls diamonds back to the flame
Some never do
Some do
Some flames in the cheek shine with lasting lustre
Some cheeks charm with a sparkle
Some cheeks shine in sparkles
Some cheeks sparkle…to keep the fire burning
Some never do
Some do
Some flames flare up for the moth
And the moth flies free to the flame
Some old flames keep the fire
For better
Forever
