"you"

There was a fire in your heart
That illuminated my soul
Like a billion stars
Which brighten a moonlit night

In the flicker of a moment
I saw your beauty
I felt your compassion
I knew your purpose

Love and sensuality
Impetuous and uninhibited 
The perfect melange
To satiate my parched heart

Liberated by consummation
Enslaved by euphoria
Expectations surpassed
By the transcendence  of you
