An Answer to -Furnace Time-

By BetaWolfinVA

slow rising the fires build...
lovers passion in ones mind
and the others eyes on future
and deigns to enjoy the day 
-
in ones mind the war is 
between god and love
in the other mind between
future and love war rages 
-
if i should do this will
my love live past holding 
a child in her arms
-
if i do that will 
i ever find another 
who loves me the same
-
and if i wait will she 
love me less for me choosing 
to have her longer still
-
ohh my aching brain
caught in war between 
passion, honor, and prudence

    Follow your instincts and let Nature take it's course, if all is well and your ducks are in-a-row, possibly not the right time (for some reasons only you can delve into). Cheers!
