The Flame of Life

Candles shining, a soft subtle glow.
I see your silhouette reflected against
the backdrop of night.
Honey colored hair against
your bronzed skin,
makes for an incredible sight.

The essence of you takes
control of my mind.
Desires burning out of control,
passions growing so intense.
More than either of us ever
thought we would find.

Subtle glances, eyelashes blinking;
intoxicating smiles captured
our souls.
There is no denying it,
your love has me so enraptured.

I gladly place my heart in your hands.
For your touch ignites the flame
of life all over again.
In you, I found the trust that I
so long ago lost.
My world will never again
be the same.

I thank the moon and the stars
for lighting my way through
this path to you.
I thank the heavens above\
for bringing me your love.
