Immature Yearnings By Liam Murray

Teen Love to speak of I feel compelled

Immature yearnings of destiny fulfilled

Of angelic chorus - Heavenly light

Cosmic event of love at first sight

Lust - burning and sharp - hormone's curse

Hidden by a veneer of Love - Flowery as Bard's verse

It starts - glances exchanged innocent chat

They look away shy but their eyes return back

Looks become bolder - casual touches increase

Tentative queries cast as emotions seek release

Their feelings flare - burning sharp and bright

Warming each other through turbulent nights

Sadly though th flame dies - it sparks... sparks... splutters

And one part is left - burnt out and gutted

Slowly over time the burnt part strengthens

As the time from their past love increases and lengthens

A fine white scar is all that is left

From the time long ago when their heart was cleft

Then one day - just sitting there - they receive a glance

And so it begins again in a Great Game of Chance.
