Flames of Love

your love is the fire
I yearn to touch,
deep in my heart
ignites flame's of lust

your love is a lantern
shining through night,
it signals a desire
that thrashes to bite

your love lights stars
that tear holes in time,
your love is a riddle
at the end of my rhyme

your love caresses
the deepest I hurt,
your eyes see through
to where I was burnt

your love healed scars
time wore into my skin,
with the tiniest kisses
you absolved all my sins

your love brought life
to a Mistress of pain,
I’m not lost anymore
I breathe freely again

I used to write wholly in rhyme but I moved to free verse and I think that's were my heart lies, I still write in rhyme but not so much these days, I do it mainly to keep the skills fluid lol ....love Jayne xxx
