Soon Gone. Poem by Fay Slimm

How soon love's flame
.................... can be disclaimed.
It lives in some
......................... but a small time.
Afraid of commitment,
................................. they blindly
Discard the way to the stars,
........................................ mainly
To pursue
................ an undemanding line
In life's affairs.
.........................This is a shame.

For love, fanned and fed,
............................... is supreme.
To grow it needs
........................ nothing but urge
Of warm sap from
................. our own need's call.
Cast its seeds to a distance,
........................................ dream
The imposssible
............................. which verges
On faith,
........ then love leaves not at all.
