Loves fire burns

LOVES FIRE BURNS
My heart is burning with love
All can see this flame
Igniting my passion, invoking desire
But its playing with my mind
loves fire burns
Can you feel the heat of this eternal love?
Its flames are rhythmically dancing
Extreme dizziness & completely mesmerizing
Into a drunken haze, its making me insane
Loves fire burns
Silently its flicking me into rapture
Until my spirit is aroused
Into this false euphoria
& then severe intoxification
Loves fire burns
Nothingness
I’ve now lost all my senses
Drunk with the ecstacy of your love
Only a hangover & memories of our love
Loves fire burns.

This poem is about how dangerous love can be. Each stanza appeals to the senses. First you “see the flame”, then “feel its heat” but it moves in “silence”, which is why in the end, there is a loss of all senses. Love is compared to a fire but also entwined with the behavior of a drunk person,ie. Someone who is out of control.
The 1st 2 lines of every stanza represent the good feelings represented by love,the ecstacy & extreme happiness. The 2nd lines always represent the down side of love which we fail to see because we go into it so blindly even though there are always warning signs (loves fire burns represents the warning signals)
It starts off really slowly with subtle hints or warnings but then gets out of control until it's over.
It ends when the lover is burned & the poem ends with the warning, signifying no hope.

The whole poem represents love between humans as ultimately we get burned by each other. What we should actually be seeking is love from within ourselves- from our core being, from our true self, which is essentially pure love or the love from God.
