You promised me forever as we whispered in the dark fingertips together like a vow before the gods of love who chuckled as they toasted our uncertainties in fickle joy and made them real for once the passion slows ‘tis tears that feed the engine of their lust for us to lose and love again each fresh commitment power, green and strong that needs the chance to ripen into fruit that satisfies the soul as well as open spaces in the heart, but the slow and steady fire that builds forever does not satisfy the hunger of the gods who want it now huge flare of flame consuming all and leaving nothing for tomorrow no mystery, no promise no forever, just a skin to be discarded while we seek out something new.

as we whispered in the dark
fingertips together like a vow
before the gods of love
who chuckled as they toasted
our uncertainties in fickle joy
and made them real
for once the passion slows
‘tis tears that feed the engine
of their lust for us to lose
and love again
each fresh commitment
power, green and strong
that needs the chance to ripen
into fruit that satisfies the soul
as well as open spaces
in the heart,
but the slow and steady fire
that builds forever
does not satisfy the hunger
of the gods who want it now
huge flare of flame
consuming all and leaving
nothing for tomorrow
no mystery, no promise
no forever, just a skin
to be discarded
while we seek out
something new.
