Burning Embers

I met up with him in winters golden rink  
Two hearts collided as we began to sink 
He linked an arm around a ball in chain
Me a laden cloud and he refreshing rain

All of my tomorrows smolder in his eyes  
Yet only moments catch me by surprise 
I barely touch his skin or graze his neck 
Still my heart uncoils, with just one peck

Licks of flame beneath my hearth for him 
Burning embers, that won’t desist or dim 
He’s my lover the man whom I have wed
The only one, who ever shared my bed 

As I lay my head against his chest and be 
I know we are to age, like the willow tree 
For if I find the silver of his hair on mine 
I’ll know our love is human, and divine.
