Darkness

There is no more I need to know We're lost in the night; Washed in the candle glow Of shimmering light. * In this moment longings flare The time is now; So much we have to share. * Hear the night wind as it sings It fans the fire; Remove your things. * The darkness dances and dips The firelight flickers and falls From your toes to your lips As shadows skim the walls. *
