Embers of Love

My golden eve gleams ebullient sun beams
When flares of fantasies in your eyes blaze
As echoes of fervor whisper your dreams
Where sensual concert in your heart plays

Hold me my dear in passions of your heart
And hear voice of desires crooning your name
As message of warmth blazing souls impart
Where embers of romance ignite our flame

Oh! how does the moon know I love you so
And why do the heavens behold your glance
While vows of our love in gleeful winds blow
And dazzling your sight euphoric stars dance

Your answer my love in the moonlight glows
How fondly you told them, it’s me you chose
