Love’s flame

Deep within me,

Within the heart of my being,

There burns a flame,

Powerful yet contained

Hot but not burning

It lights up my soul

Driving away the darkness which lay there before

Filling it with joy

A happiness stronger than ever before

It’s  brought by the simplest things

The smile you give me in the morning

The soft kisses beneath the sheets

The caress of your hand

All of which feeds the flame

The flame of my love for you
