Embers

Her hand reaches to my chest… and touches my soul
igniting these fires within me

The warm glow of a new-found love
that dances with romantic candle light

The white-hot burning flame of passion
exploding like summer lightning

Those embers left lying amongst her memory
to leap into life when she’s near
stay to keep warm my heart in her absence

Her hand reaches to me…

and I am ablaze with the fire of life
