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.
