Young Couple In Love Maybe this time Just this once They beat the odds And run faster then the years That have cost so many so much Maybe this time They see the signs And turn at full speed Where others had not the courage That jealousy is a beast Best left abandoned Where ageing is only a face Beautifully familiar That love is not a matter Of biology But of destiny Maybe this time Is for all time Flames without candles Love without need |

Joe,
I liked this piece. I feel all through that it speaks of the very age we live in, where the world is mixing and physical barriers (race, community, etc.) mean so little in the face of true love .. and it does take courage to walk (or run) in that direction when so many (living in their small-minded communities) have paid the price for letting their heart choose. Flames without candles, indeed!
Keep writing!
