Candlestick Encrusted Heart Shape by koko-tewan courtesy of http://www.freedigitalphotos.net
A candle burns
the flame tapered
as hot as the passion
inscribed on their faces
Lovers cradling hearts
mouths exploring
skin on fire
for the other’s touch
She yields to him
handing over lock and key
her biggest sin
unto herself
Yield, by all means,
but the key …
hoard it
hide it
unless he succumbs wholly
offers everything of himself
for a love that will burn endlessly
