Tinderbox Passion

Delicate balance,

She tried to make it

But this

Tinderbox passion

Kept her near the sparks.

Relations in stress,

Where was the patience?

But then

Tinderbox passion

Could not be kept locked.

Emotions ignite

And spread in fashion

But then

Tinderbox passion

Brings back the hard knocks.

Ash and souls smolder.

Until they are ice cold.

But this

Tinderbox passion

Is kept near the sparks.

And will ignite again.
