My Flame

So bonny, I cannot help but smile,

Your beauty glows from every pore,

And I ponder on this all the while -

Each day I love you more and more.

Your eyes no longer look askance,

They're soft with love of unknown depth,

I can see my name in every glance -

I exhale yours with every breath.

I long to place my hand to your chest

And feel the heart that beats within,

And you'd place yours upon my breast -

The drum-beat quickening therein.

You're the reason that I choose to live,

The flame that burns within my soul,

And I would never hesitate to give

My heart to you, complete and whole.
