Two lonely eyes which dance shall sight two more

When sparks a flame where cooling cinders lay

Hesitates with scars form burns afore

One step forth, two back in fear, with love at bay.

Deep dark eyes of tender warmth and silent brown

Entrancing my heart and unlocking my love

Heart beats loud and clear like drums as sorrows drown

Roaring flames inside the calmness of a dove.

But scorching heat returns love to bitterness

For my feelings surge from a crush of the heart

Many times have I woken from dreams like this

To find it was just fantasy from the start.

These moments are full of silent lust

then all at once they return to dust.
