The Long Run

In the midst of toil and haste

There’s nothing of value to waste

With eyes of opaque blue

I gave my love to you

Cut out the winter blues

Together by the fire at last

Forever entangled by desire

We’ll not let love retire

Changing patterns on the wall

Reduced by love’s call

Flickering embers radiate heat

As we listen to our hearts beat

And in the winter nights

We need no lights

Just the warmth of the fire

Forever entangled by desire

Rekindle the flames

But who’s to blame?

Only ours is the reason

Going in on the long run
