Firelight Caress

As leaping flames reflect the dance
in shadows on the wall
Thoughts stray to feelings of romance
and love’s words I recall

The snapping wood holds me entranced
by spells it weaves tonight
My visions of true love enhanced
while gazing in firelight

Again I hear you call my name
a whisper, gently clear
With words that let your heart proclaim
love softly in my ear

As flames leap higher my heart beats
a song meant just for you
While each note fills with passion heats
in this dream I pursue

To feel your touch warm on my face
like a firelight caress
And rest against your strong embrace
heart’s desires I confess

As leaping flames reflect the dance
I hear love in your voice
I’m lost within hypnotic trance
that makes my heart rejoice

Karen,
Very beautiful and with just enough sizzle. I'm very impressed with the poems I've read here so far.
