The Fire Within
Cat up on the mantle, fire burning, flickering bright.
Lovers embraced upon the couch, their
shadows dance in firelight.
Windows open; breeze blows in, soft against their naked skin.
Night sounds enter; natures din, to mix
with sounds of sexual sin.
The moment comes when passions rise; heartbeats pound as one.
They look into each others eyes, and
together sensual pleasures come.
