Altar of Desire

Ensnared in your gaze My eyes caught in a haze Tangled in a web of fire My heart blinded by desire Dancing in strobe lights Feet enslaved to the night In your arms I'm a beast On your lips lies a thief Stealing every moment off your tongue Kissing you Like I've found my lover lost at sea When am with you I can't stop smiling Like kids running in the sun I gave you my body You gave me your heart I took away your pain You brought me to the altar of desire Crawling on hands & knees Towards your bed Setting sail on a voyage Of two bodies lost at sea Whose friends & family will never see Till we resurface from the sheets Our hearts lost in each others sea Lying on an island Bodies locked in heat.
