Old Flame Poem by Beth Bailey

Old Flame

Rating: 5.0


Smoldering ashes of a long forgotten fire
Stirred with stick of wanton desire
The flame first blue, then red, then white
It burns too hot and reason takes flight
Lips that love and lie to one
Whisper goodnight when day is done
Should I ever kiss your cheek in sun's light
Every wrong will be turned to right
