Love's Desire

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire -- Ring of Fire sung by Johnny Cash

Love's Desire

Your love is my desire,
I can’t help myself.
We have so much fun together
sharing our deepest feelings.

I long for time alone with you,
just you and I-no one else.
Our walks and talks linger
with me all day long.

But we have others
in our lives.
To whom we have
made lasting commitments.


To them we must be true
despite our burning love.
If we consummate our love
we will be consumed in the fire.
