| As One Flame While I gaze upon your face, I wish no other place to be. Other thoughts, at once, erase, For you are all I care to see. Deep within your eyes, I find All playfulness and mystery. Deeper still, you tease my mind With more than I should know or see. Soft shadows fall upon your skin, From your silken hair which flows Upon your neck, as I fall within Your spell, my yearning heart's exposed. And with every breath, the fragrance Of you washing through my memories Sets me floating, as if in a trance, I loose site of all surrounding me. So captive now, to your will, Forever lost, with no return, This moment, frozen in time until Your smile sets my heart to burn. Your lips speak words no other hears. They fall upon my one desire To draw you closer, nearer, And be as one flame in this fire. Douglas Fletcher 12/20/2001 |
