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!
