Look deep now within these eyes
All I feel I can’t disguise
And I see it in your eyes too
Such passion, such love, shining through
There’s no words that I can say
That a kiss would not convey
So let the silence linger on
And hold me tight until the dawn
The flames consume all in its way
Making the night as bright as day
But the fire is nothing to fear
Though you feel the heat as it draws near
Watch as it dances in the sky
Finding such freedom there up high
Moving and swaying without a care
Breathing and sighing in the night air
Don’t live your life hiding in ice
These flames of love may not come twice
So in your heart let the fire burn
And in your soul let freedom return
Closing my eyes at your tender touch
Never before have I felt so much
As I do when you hold me near
And the future just seems so clear
But all that matters is here and now
Being lost in you, wondering how
Luck could have shifted in my favor
Giving so much for me to savor
So on this journey I go with you
To explore a world so bright and new
She still stands, stronger than you thought
Though not the outcome that you sought
For any challenge she will always rise
All those that urge her to quit she defies
She’s not your puppet led by strings
Not your slave or one of your things
And when all that she is you fail to see
Deep in her heart she will set herself free
The greatest gift you just let slip
Through your fingers and from your grip
And with another she will finally find
True passion exists for her heart and mind

Words unspoken as their eyes meet
Kisses so soft that taste so sweet
Lingering there a moment more
Causing a shiver to her core
A gentle stroke across her cheek
And she is left trembling and weak
Holding her close, this gem so rare
Fingers tangled within her hair
See in her eyes a love so deep
That is now his to hold and keep
Hands gently brushing the hair from my face
And everything stands still in time and space
Fingers running slowly down my arm
And all my defenses you disarm
I melt into you as you pull me tighter
You kiss me so deep and my heart grows lighter
And all the world seems to just disappear
The beating of our hearts is all I hear
As the quiet night settles in
I sit and think of all that’s been
But thoughts will wander and they will drift
And to thoughts of you is where they shift
A saving grace, a shining light
That brightens up the darkest night
And you saved this heart from a fate
Of never knowing all that’s great
So now it pulses in the fire
Of all your unending desire
In those flames I want to stay
Through forever and a day
In my dreams I’m in your embrace
When I wake your kiss I still taste
It lingers softly upon these lips
And the beating within my heart skips
The warmth of your body close to mine
Stays with me like the sweetest red wine
Hands that caress so gentle and soft
Will keep this dream and my heart aloft
Until in these arms I hold you once more
This dream will burn within me to my core
Thoughts of him race through her mind each night
In her dreams she sees him in full light
She hears his voice and feels his touch
And these feelings become too much
For her simple heart to keep contained
As the light within her is regained
She wants to shout and make it clear
This it is him that she holds dear
And in the morning when she awakes
It’s for his touch alone that she aches
Passion burns in her every touch
Her eyes are saying just as much
She burns hotter as the night wears on
Shining brighter than the coming dawn
The fire flowing through her veins
The ice melting till none remains
Desire consuming her heart whole
As it courses through and fills her soul
Making her more than you ever thought
Surpassing all that you ever sought
