Crimson Thoughts

Pure thoughts and untouched
She floats into the room
He glances at her smile
She looks away too soon

He looks her way again
to breathe within her soul
She's not aware of his stare
but she feels his warmth from the cold

Pure white thoughts turns to red
Crimson thoughts unsaid
God, pray for me and I pray to you
Keep me pure, save me through

She looks up
To catch her breath
They lock eyes
She sees red

The glances throughout the night
From across the room
Without any words
His touch can't come too soon

Pure white thoughts turns to red
Crimson thoughts unsaid
God, pray for me and I pray to you
Keep me pure, save me through

Perfect strangers to one another
But a familiarity of some kind
He feels it, she feels it
Both have racing minds

The heat grows within
They both want to explode
He makes his way toward her
Hearts, bodies, souls unfold

Pure white thoughts turns to red
Crimson thoughts unsaid
God, pray for me and I pray to you
Keep me pure, save me through

She doesn't stand a chance
Of staying pure
He smiles with uncertainty
He stands tall and sure

He gazes into her eyes and soul
She feels exposed and free
He takes her hand
Her heart is set to flee

Pure white thoughts turns to red
Crimson thoughts unsaid
God, pray for me and I pray to you
Keep me pure, save me through

N B I found this an intriguing entry as it pitted the heat against the firewall of angst. the eternal battle between purity and passion.
