Words whispered in the night
With passionate intent
On breathe hot with desire
Into an ear they were sent
Words echoed deep in a heart
Where shadows did hide
In that timid black darkness
Did loves unlit torch reside
The words sent on that breath
Were hopeful yet alone
But filled with such emotion
It chilled to the bone
The heart heard the soft sounds
Like the beat it once knew
The words gaining in strength
Igniting into a flame as they flew
Emotional sparks
Filling dark corners and rifts
Giving hope and a promise
To wherever it drifts
Casting its radiance
Until all was again one
And igniting loves torch
To burn like the sun
