In a corner of my soul, longing burns, Flames rising from hopes, desires, pains, The ashes that remain – dusty memories, The illusion of time passing, a fleeting moment, Your stolen glance, a moment that belongs to you, Take all you can, but leave me a memory. Make me laugh, make me hope once more, In the love that is born from...

The fire of sex, a hidden magic, a sacred ember, Always present within us, whether it burns fiercely or smolders subtly. Even at the...
