The Flames of Passion

It was a night like no other night
And it came out of nowhere
Our eyes locked on each other
And started the flames of passion

We move across the dance floor
And we know what we wanted
We wanted each other so badly
But still we were hesitant

The heat of bodies seems to ignite
As we embrace to dance
It was not love, and it was not lust
It was only the flames of passion

As the music plays
We can feel our hearts beating outside our chest
The raw essence of our perfume
The aroma now covers her dress

Our lips were quivering to touch
As our cheeks blushes with hunger
Our needs were like knives slowly
Cutting away at our resilience

We were burning,
Burning up each other control
Until the heat becomes too hot 
As we lead ourselves to the parking lot

Her touch was so soft and tender.
But her whisper was full of desire
As our lips gasp in sweet surrender
As the flames of our passion fuels the fire

No words were said or spoken between us
No promises were made, to be kept
No lies of flirting being told tonight
No looking back and no afters regrets

The longing to stay in each other arms
Was there, but we had such precious little time
We were like the rain with thunder and lightening
Being lonely tonight was our only crime

Shivers in magnitudes of earthquakes
Rumbles through our veins
Exploding like a tornado
Trembling like flowers in the wind

Descending waterfalls
Catching our breaths
Coming back to earth
Heat burning in our soul

Walking away after
With nothing to say
A longing for more
Neither of us wanting to say
 
Tomorrow maybe bringing sorrow
Or a brief guilt or moment of shame
With the memory of this one night in our lives
When we release the flames of  passion's
