Burning Embers
There’s a glow coming from her tender heart
Sweet escape from the bustle of the world
She holds my gaze as I desire each part
A true harbor of my love, she’s this girl
She allows me in, giving me a whirl
There are some burning embers that’s nearby
Producing a wondrous amount of joy
Not knowing her heart I would surely die
But I hold her near me, I quite enjoy
Her desire to love me, I must employ
We expect time to work with us tonight
Our hearts will beat together with embers
Those that burn brightly within the warm light
Our love shall break evil from grand towers
We beseech growth from beautiful flowers
The burning embers glow with such power
A tremendous feeling of warmth inside
Deeply felt, love that never was sour
Emotion that lasts over and beside
Just how love appeals, nothing more abides
