Flame

I've known Tori now for 3 years and the nature of my love for her has changed. Originally it was intense and all consuming. My thoughts kept returning to her and I was distracted. Time changes things and my love has changed. Like a gas cooker the initial spark causes a larger flame which settles down to a long burning flame, my love has settled down to something that endures and enhances my life. 

Flame
=====
  When I first met you
  My heart burst into flame,
  Sparked by your presence
  Ignited by you.

  Bondage shaped that flame,
  Torments only dreamed,
  Actions only fantasized
  Submission to you.

  Time can extinguish fire
  Or dull it to an ember
  Yet this flame endures and burns
  Fanned by you.

  The initial spark has long since gone,
  The flame has settled down
  Providing long and enduring warmth
  Fed by you.

  My love, this flame will never die
  Until my days are through;
  It will keep me warm eternally
  This flame, my love for you.
