Bonds of Love

by Earl

Flickering light of candle glow
Background music soft and low
Dancing shadows have no mass
Forgotten wine warms in the glass

The gentle caress of loving hands
What the other needs each understands
Impassioned lovers warm embrace
Athirst bodies interlace

Excitement burns to wild desire
Lips and fingers fuel the fire
Urgent needs and wanton lust
Inhibitions wane replaced by trust

The world shut out from this magical tryst
This place and each other are all that exist
An intimate bond that transcends the flesh
Where hearts, minds and bodies intermesh
