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
