Manchild

He played with fire
And burned so fiercely 
That She devil seared the manchild's heart
Consumed the love he felt

Yet he rises
He is coming alive
As in new flame he resurrects

New convergence
Reaches down
Finds this bratty boy
And gathers his flame to hers

And where inferno once raged
Outside
Alone
There is calm and safe haven
To be found now within the storm
Inside
Together

I love it! You speak with your heart

powerful, emotional read, nicely presented

[Paul Bell]

So, out with the old, in with the new, flame.
I suppose we all get burnt in love, but would we have it any other way.

I had to read it 10 times but i think i get it. it is talking about the intensity of love

Thank you Jeff for reading..yes it is about the intensity of the love that burnt the manchild but also the softness and safety of the new flame ( the writer) who feels they will not treat him the same and that they are safe with her..thank you for reading and your comments..Caroline 🙂
