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 Torbiak 2001 © Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
