Burning

Searching this world for a lover

I knew somewhere I'd find her

an emotional bond never severed

though feelings are shared through letters

I wrote you the story about the slitherer 

A bull snake that was not venomous.

I bet one kiss from you is contagious

your love will surge through my veins

relieving any heartache and pain

I dream of holding your hand

as the water massages the land

​the splash of water and birds sing

fish jumping as the water gleams

The sound of your breathing

quell the stress-building 

in you, I found my meaning

We are both Godparents 

we would make good parents

sharing a loving union

with a brand new little person

I hope we remain in each other's future

only separated by kilometers of nature

travel makes the distance shorter 

​our hearts fire forever, burning
