Your name is a prayer I whisper daily
A song I croon in the dark of night
It's hot on my lips and burns so sweetly
like the richest whiskey or heated wine
It leaves a trail of fire within my throat,
perfumes the air with its splendid sound
A melodious tune that plays on repeat
within my mind like my favourite record
Hearing it being spoken aloud
is enough to bring a smile to my face

Your eyes are an ocean to lose oneself in
A pool of brine, a stormy sea
With each glance, I feel the cool sensation
of soothing waves washing over me
They hold a whirlpool of emotion,
equally both tempestuous and calm
I'd dip within those pools for hours
Dive to find the brightest pearl
For you, I'd drown myself within them
Never to surface, never to breathe

Sometimes, they're more alike a meadow
quilted in a soft, summer haze
Blades of grass brush my fingertips
with each longing look
I can very nearly smell the flowers,
see the light refract on a dragonfly's wings
I'd frolic in that field forever
before laying down my head to sleep
tucked up in Mother Nature's nest
safe and sound among the green

Your body's like a marble statue
A canvas upon which I can
write my love and my desires
It's picturesque, a thing to worship
Both strong and bold, supple and soft
Within your arms, I can find solace -
a fortified stronghold to keep me safe
It holds the treasure I yearn to covet
Pumping hard within your chest
is the heart I long to call mine

Within my core, a fire is catching
with every kiss and gentle touch
Your lips on mine are like the matchstick
Your hands on my waist, the logs to burn
Each panted breath serves as kindling
to stoke the embers of my own passion
Fire is necessary for survival
The same can be said about my love
Without it, the world seems dark and cold
You are my light, my warmth, my life
