Embrace

Youthful immaturity upon onset    
knowing well our own embrace      
impassioned, too fierce to forget      
internal flames at rapid pace      
     
Beware, that which burns too bright      
can turn lovely things to ash      
darkness fell amid the light      
leading us to crash      
 
Love meant only for a few
innocence of romance wanes      
out of fear we withdrew      
yet a connection still remains      
     
A place in my soul was empty      
for years I grew a scar      
not knowing it was thee      
the strings of my guitar      
     
Reunited through clear grace      
we resume what once was lost      
familiar warm embrace      
our hearts have been embossed
