Straight From The Heart:

This Is Love

Soft candles sparkling deep into the night

gently enchanting two people holding tight.

Nibbles and kisses make their feelings clear

drawing closer in passion and knowing no fear.

Lips upon lips with words not to say

eyes deep into eyes and loving it that way.

The taste of the moment is rich and sweet

the need for closeness echoes as their hearts beat.

The music inspires a heart felt embrace

while fingers lightly scan the contour of a face.

With the soft flames flickering to light their way

the magic and motion will awake their next day.

Needing and wanting and tasting it all

answering to each other's gentle but demanding call.

Pausing for moments only to whisper a plea

then back into their silence to continue eternity.

For she is his passion and he her content

so soft are these moments so preciously spent.

Now, there is no world but what the two have built

so free of life's troubles, so free of it's guilt.

It's deep in this creation that we all long to be

sharing our freedom in a special unity.

As mystical and expected as the stars up above

don't be confused my friend . . . This Is Love.
