the once thought to be the love ever after

prospect

now recounts too softly his retired

jubilee

to an innocent time once so cherished

he continues to try to forget his

young lady she

inappropriate was the vaguely stinging term

her angrily worried father used

for no ill fallen love by some untamable farm

boy could be excused

pure white paper and fire just don't make

real sense

boy, for one will get burnt quite badly

and you and I both know which

so, when the end came around to so critically

be

that same young fire left town and she was free

love unquenched take rest now

from your achingly long ten year mourning

for today that now aged fire returns to burn

for his Lady she without even one phone calls

warning......................
