Love's sweet aroma drifts -

Love's sweet aroma drifts -

Draws me to surrender.

My joy is your laughter;

Your presence, my repose.

Let love and fire marry

And living be the prize.

I resign my empty nights;

Where you lead, I follow.

Like a candle and flame -

Be with me as one -

Wax melding into tongue

Inextricably so.
