Love Is A Fire
Oluwaseye O. Oluwaseye 1981 (Ibadan)
No amount fire can quench true love
True love is a strong fire.
Only the fire or water of infidelity can reduce the fire of love
But not quench
For love is a fire and flowing water
Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
As a seal upon thine arm,
For love is strong as death;
Jealousy is cruel as the grave.
The coals thereof are coals of fire,
Which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can the floods drown it;
If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
It would utterly be contemned.
The fire of love burns in the heart
Calling for her own all night
For it is easy to love than hate
Love conquers all things
Love dare the impossible
Love is a language
Not emotion
The language of love is sacrifice, trust, forgiveness, kindness
Love find peace in her own.
Love is a fire.
