Firing Desire

Enduring love, an effervescing flame, 
Through the open air, we transpire as one. 
For all darkness could not, our light, reclaim, 
Nor quell our longing, pervading passion.  

As our wild love stirs and intensifies,
A wisp of smoke, gives a blissful ascent,
For our great love soars beyond the vast skies -     
Quenching desires full of merriment.

Embers suspended in angelic pose,
Giving light that emanates our course.
Slowly flickering, to our ventured close - 
Exit, fading to our once begun force.

Leaving, subdued tinder flame aspiring,
Their amorous souls once more are firing.
