Torch

The flames of passion burn within me,
you cannot begin to fathom their intensity.
For you are the one who starts the fire,
intense flames, intense heat surround me!
How can I love you more?
How can I quench the desires that rage inside?
You, my precious delicate flower!
If ever I had reason for living,
you alone are the very breath of life!
Come to me tonight when I call out.
Come to me, and we will burn in the 
flames of unstoppable desire!
