Flame of Love

Flame of Love

I hear your voice from afar,
yet your fingers seem to tremble across my skin,
I close my eyes to see your face,
and yearn to reach out and touch it,
feel your skin under my fingertips,
trace the edges of your lips,
but like a dream it all begins to fade.

I sway within your arms,
a branch blowing in the wind,
my neck arches with the stirring of your breath,
a warm summer breeze scorching my flesh,
and your kiss lingers like a scent
that remains as an intangible wisp.

We stand too far though our hearts beat close,
ethereally we tremor together
like two delicate moths caught within in the moonlight,
we are these lost ones who endure,
but can be so easily damaged,
we guide each other through the darkness,
for we are twin burning flames.
