Flames

The essence of you swirls and 
flows around me like a wild thing 
that moves just outside the light 
that is the burning flames of love
~          ~          ~          ~          ~
Sometimes coming so close that 
the flames dance with wild desire
and other times moving away and 
leaving them as cooling embers
waiting to once more be fanned
into heartwarming flames of love
~          ~          ~          ~          ~
