When We Were Hot

When We Were Hot

Even though, I know

that nothing

lasts for ever and

one day I shall

have to let you go ..

For now,

and maybe for

a moment longer ..

I just want

the whole damn

world to know

you were, once mine ..

And my word,

how we did then shine ..

Both hot

and furnace bright ..

I think those flames burn intensely forever. As time passes memory creates distance which makes the flame appear to be waning, but it still burns like a furnace. And we humans like the warmth of it so we keep seeking it. Words are meant to be spoken, not snuffed out. Good poem Neville.

thanking you again .. and apologies for my delayed response, a lot of stuff has been occurring ..

Hot and furnace bright is certainly something to remember when and if the flames cool. I think we have all felt the heat of love’s desire. Not something easily forgotten. This is a very loving poem for someone who means/meant the world to you. I felt the heat jumping out from the page. A lovely poem Neville you have penned here.
