Touched By Your Flame

Ripples of heat through your fingertips 
They light the flame that keeps me alive, 
The warmth of your breath on my two lips 
It is for this that I now do strive. 

Passion burns hot, as the flame licks high 
No cooling for us till fervent spent, 
As flames flicker round two bodies lie 
In ecstasy our spirits cement. 

Let no one destroy this love so strong 
The flame of life that fuels never fools, 
Let no one dare charge that love is wrong 
The memories where mind lingers rules. 
 
Two hearts two souls together as one 
Two bodies bound entwined conquered won.
