Embers Gleam in your Eyes

campfire flames flare bright licking high into the night fingers seek mirrors to show the utmost delight the fire wants to share tonight your eyes catch that glow— reflecting in afterglow like rose under chin shows a warm red glow on skin a token of love aflame out beyond what's near I see blazing stars mirrored back through time and space quivering constellations pulsing with light's energy flames carve your outline the darkness has etched you there to keep for itself as it unhooks your shadow so that you float out of reach somewhere passed the stars the first light still floods outwards unchained, unafraid— I see it in your eyes now as the place it will return the light in your eyes showcases that I share you with the cosmic light released from the wood by flames kindled by our devotion your eyes hold fire's glow a warmth only lovers know is light from first dawn drifting across starlit skies as embers gleam in your eyes embers gleam in your eyes embers gleam in your eyes
