THE LOVER

Written for Stormy Lady's "Show me your poetry and win" contest

The lover has a burning desire
To make your dreams come true,
With passion he speaks of love
And wonderful plans for two.

His passion and his promises
Leave a girl's heart burning
With desire before she finds
He will not be returning.

So sad the fickle-minded soul
Whose passion makes him lie;
The burning desire once filled
He turns and says - goodbye.
