Tonight, my loved one, the silence
Is like a seductive whisper
That lies here between our bodies
As we embrace by the fire
And let the warmth that it gives us
Be held in our hearts for all time
The way its light plays on our skin
And the love it shows in our eyes
The spark that started that fire
Ignited, my sweet, between us
It grew as twin flames in our thoughts
Which blazed as they came together
So now to gaze in that fire
And hold you and kiss your sweet hair
And watch the flames rise around us
Like flickering dancers of love.
