The Flame

As part of the writing process for ‘SONG BIRD’, I write lyrics that focus on key character relationships. ‘The Flame’ deals with one of those relationships. The scene below is from the novel.

The world-wide  launch date for ‘SONG BIRD’ is 2nd February 2015. My publisher has advise me that it will be available for pre-order through all online sellers and can be ordered through book12stores from 15th January 2015. You  need to tell your local bookseller it is POD.

VERSE 1 -MAN 
I once thought 
Love was pure desire 
A hunger, fever,  
An appetite on fire, 
Consuming lovers 
That came my way. 
Relationships would 
Blaze and fade.
 
VERSE 2 – WOMAN (variation in melody)
Once I thought, 
Love was like breath, 
Something we were preset 
To feel and express. 
Seduced by a masquerade, 
I got burned and learned, 
Actions, not the serenade, 
Love’s truth confirms. 

CHORUS -DUET
I know now
Love’s an eternal                                    
Flame.
It burns brightly
On the darkest 
Days.
It fills my heart, 
Soul, my mind.
So profound, 
It can’t be denied.
Love forgives.
It accepts.
Love knows
The wonder
In wonderful.  BRIDGE
Steadfast and constant,                        
Loyal, true
That’s what I’ll be
On life’s road with you.
When things ‘re tough 
You can depend on me.      
You hold my heart
For eternity.  

CHORUS -DUET
I know now
Love’s an eternal                                    
Flame.
It burns brightly
On the darkest 
Days.
It fills my heart, 
Soul, my mind.
So profound, 
It can’t be denied.
Love forgives.
It accepts.
Love knows
The wonder
In wonderful.
