    A BURNING FLAME

     When I close my eyes, and think of you,
    It lights a fire down deep inside -
    Of love, and lust, and passion, too...
    A burning flame I cannot hide.

    I feel the softness of your lips,
    I feel your breath upon my ear,
    I feel the bite of your fingertips,
    As they in passion pull me near.

    I smell the fragrance of your hair,
    I hear the whisper of my name,
    I feel the bond that we both share,
    As we gently stoke that burning flame.

    I taste the sweetness of your skin,
    I feel your flesh melt with mine,
    As our souls are joined, and once again,
    We've shared the fruit of our mortal vine.

    When I close my eyes, and think of you,
    It lights a fire down deep inside -
    Of love, and lust, and passion, too...
    A burning flame I cannot hide.

    Smoothly delivered, bro. On Gates Avenue we call that runnin' a serious rap. "Father" is the pivotal theme of your OP.COM I.D. - Running a rap like that It's not difficult to see how you got to be one (LOL).

    Thank you very much, Ms. Meadows, for your kind words... and yes, my wife does like this poem. Thank you.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
