Back When We Were Younger

Rekindle a flame of love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Years has passed since we married

Our love used to be a burning flame

Now it is cool like a cold winters rain

I want to feel that burning flame again

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

I want to find a garden

Arrayed with beautiful flowers

Make a bed of petals

Lay you down

Make love until our bodies are heated

Wrapped in the fragrant scent

Like we did back when we were younger

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

Stars blanket the sky

Warm summer breeze

Let the top down on our old convertible

Ride around town

Neck in the back seat

Like we did back when we were younger

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

Go out to the movies

Make it the late show

Sit on the very back row

Share a coke and popcorn

Make out until the lights come on

Like we did back when we were younger

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

Forty years down the road

We are older, but not dead

Let us feed that flame

See how hot we can get

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

 

 

Author's Note

Searched the internet on different types of poems, I viewed a song that was also considered a poem. Decided to try my hand at it! Tell what you think!

Reviews

[An owl on the moon]

What a beautiful, rhythmic song that drifts delicately over time and space. A hopeful happy vision of desire and what makes love last.

[Tina Kline]

A really wonderful poem. True love gets better over time when the two people in love put a little work to it. Anything worth having is worth working for.

[Marie Harrison]

Your song made me smile. Especially the stanza with
the convertible car. I can see the top going down
and a happy couple smiling with the wind blowing
their hair. I think those flames can heat up
and roar again. :)

[Shalini Dinesh]

A very beautiful writing , loved the lyrics....

[KAREN]

I thought it was great! Trying something new is always good to do. I say put music to it and write on!!

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Excellent! I think this would make a fantastic song. Growing older doesn't have to mean the flame is going out. I, myself, think the longer you are with someone the better it gets.

[Enigma]

I liked it. Simple and entertaining. Good use of imagery and a smooth flow. The chorus is amazing. :)

[SpokenWord]

I like it and it is on relationships kind of like your sisters who I just read and both has that touch of romance in it, one being new romance another about rebuilding it. It could be a good song with the right singer. Nice job

[Jeremy Baker]

I'd love to hear this being sung.
