Love By Firelight

You made your mark in my soul
  So soft…so subtle…
Yet so indelible, so mesmerizing 
  When your lips touch mine...
I soar on wings of love for you 

As we lay by the firelight
 I give you my heart for safe keeping
For you are the sustenance
 That keeps me yearning, keeps me burning
Your energy meshes so well with my heart, my soul

The electricity that flows between us
  The warmth of your touch
The smell of your skin
  Your sweet breath on my neck 
I’m sent to Paradise floating on a cloud  

When we walk hand in hand
  I know you are with me…
With me in body, mind, spirit and soul 
  What a glorious day when our souls entwined

The tides in the ocean may come and go
                But we…
                         Will always be one
