Once again I find myself here In the temple of your love Kneeling before the flaming altar Which burns bright with desire As the very stone itself ignites In a fury of yellow orange flame Flickering softly before me It feels as if I was summoned here To worship you, my one true love Giving you body, mind, and spirit Basking in your touch upon my skin Watching you tend to the yearning within Hearts beating in rhythm together As the flames dance in your eyes I remember the very first time My eyes fixed upon this sacred place Yes, I came willingly to you Bearing the most precious gift I had Do you remember, my love? Aye, it was my very heart Which I laid upon your altar I had never known such feeling Powerful, fierce, encompassing As I experienced on that day You wrapped me softly in your love Quenching a raging thirst deep within By your very presence in my life Together we worshipped before the altar But that was then and this is now Things are hardly the same for us Yet I am being drawn once again To the altar of passion and desire The once bright flames have been rekindled They dance silently on the temple walls Can you see them, my love? They beckon you to come Will you heed their call? Or will it fall upon deaf ears? I know not the answer, my love But I do know this . . . Lying there surrounded by the flames Lies my heart for the taking All writing comes |

WOW. This is incredibly beautiful Lone Wolf. And Sven? Few words can adequately describe him, and I only know him through these blue pages. But his heart beats of pure golden love, and that is quite an altar of love you've put out there. LOVE will indeed someday conquer this world. |

Stunning, Lady! Completely and utterly beautifully stunning! Precious gifts through poetry offered. I think this is your best yet! Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since |

Thank you all for your replies and comments. They are greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Sven for allowing me to share this with all of you. I didn't think he'd mind, he is my husband after all!
