Shadows with an echo , reverberating beat
Cadence of two foolish ones... emotions running deep
Catch the golden ring of love but spare responsibility
Whirl into oblivion... jack knife into it tenderly
Catch the tails of comets then forget just who you are
Love escapes all reasoning when you're coasting with the stars
Fling open all the doors and ride the passion out
After all you're part of two on this "Ship of Fools" ... no doubt
Take every risk you come upon and shirk the slightest pimple
Goosebumps come with courage...it's all plain and simple
This passion pony of the lust that drugs each nerve you own
Reaches to the depth of dares and polishes your bones
Nothing but a miracle can rescue you right then
The fire you're feeling in your heart ...well it's beginning to begin
Upon lessons learned that hurt for life and aches made loud and clear
For fools are made everyday from lust that knows no fear
Then goals are lost when disrespect puts you in a quandary
Then hearts are fooled when emotion's smile and squashes all love's
boundaries.
Susan, excellent write. Yes, there is much more to love than just the endearments. We echo those parts when we say, " I Do " We may grab all the gold rings we want but if we're not ready to accept the silver, brass and tin ones then that love is futile.
