Flame

Passion burns deep, for us a fire
its flames cross the hearts of our desire

no ashes are found in our eternal flame
only the rising heat that we claim

our hearts are warmed by this firey emotion
its glowing light smolders with devotion

each tender touch, we caress is molten
every hungry kiss is forever golden

taken on timeless journeys that'll never cease
we cross the invisible realm of sensual peace

held in the arms of love we are unbound
in a created world our love has found

where passionate flames burn
and light the days and nights as they turn

in wondrous moments as our eyes merge
they invite the soul's flame to emerge

Oh, how deep the fire that burns within
that spans our hearts again and again

to be so moved that even the shadows caress
and all that was or will be is confessed

in the dawn of our love, we lit this flame
in the twilight of our love, it burns the same
