Flame
My heartbeats
are deafening
as your image
gets closer to me
as your breath
is felt upon my neck,
as your voice
is heard within my ears.
It is you
that inspires
all heightened pleasures
and romantic poetry,
as it is you
that is the spark
to my fire.
Burn on oh sweet one,
let not the fires
diminish within my heart,
nor in yours
