You are fire and I'm wood.

"You are fire and I'm wood." Thank you the great Poet Virgil for these words.

                       You are fire and I'm wood

"Love conquer all things; yield we to love" 
                    Virgil

The lovers who admire the  beauty of the evening stars.
Stands on the threshold of love fearless and brave.
Their love stories will be the epic stories told for the ages.

Fierce love, uncontrolled love. Not caring about the final destination or ending.
Two people seeking shelter and solstice in the allure of the sweet kiss and long embrace.
Their boundless and consuming love will take them to paradise and inflamed heart and soul.

She whispered to her lover. "You are fire and I'm wood."
Your sweet kiss make me burn with want and need.
I will be your lady true till you decide to free me.

He told her. Love can be a prison or bold journey into chance.
Love can be endearing and like a rising sea.
Can be strong and weak with the tide. Real love is held forever.

The Poet wrote for his enchanting muse.
We loved and we shall die.
We danced and we  sang sweet words of love.
We laughed and we cried.
In the end. We need to know we had loved.
Held tightly to sweet words of love when she was near.

"Real love is held forever."

Forever...the word which is so questionable for many but I have chosen to believe. I have believed in all impossibilities because of love. And yes, the truth is "love conquers all". Is it "fierce love...uncontrolled love"?

This is great. Glad you're always motivated by the great poets.

Dante's inferno made me read Virgil. He is as wonderful as Dante. The ancient writers knew what love was. I'm just a beginning. Thank you for reading and the comment.

This is an enchanting read Coyote, fierce love has never been written better than you've pen'd it here. Love that last stanza, laughing, crying, dancing, and poetry, that's what it's all about.

"Love can be endearing and like a rising sea." Perfect analogy.

Thank you Frieda. I have received some good writing tips from the writer and poet Virgil. The more I read of his books. The more I desire to write.

I think you make the ancient Roman poet proud John, my pleasure always.

The indisputable dominance of the ancients when it came to the field of poetry and the construction of verse has always been a source of inspiration, in one form or another, to the poets of the present day.
This is a beautiful poem, Coyote.

"The Poet wrote for his enchanting muse.
We loved and we shall die.
We danced and we sang sweet words of love.
We laughed and we cried.
In the end. We need to know we had loved."

I like these lines the most, they seem to evoke the idea that to have truly lived, you must have truly loved.

Well written, Coyote.

Thank you Landred. If we live a empty life. What have we done?

[KAin]

What have we done indeed? Only died in the attempt of living.
