Gary Smith Poet Couplet

My Inner Fire

This passion that within me lies
Was set ablaze by her eyes.

Upon such beauty did I look,
My lovestruck heart, a leap it took.

Truly caught in love's sweet game,
I follow, as some smitten swain.

For what else is a man to do,
When cupid calls, his arrow true.

My whole being burns with desire,
For she ignites, my inner fire.
