Love Poem: Flame

Flame

My heartbeats 
are deafening
as your image 
gets closer to me 
as your breath   
is felt upon my neck, 
as your voice 
is heard within my ears. 
It is you 
that inspires 
all heightened pleasures 
and romantic poetry, 
as it is you 
that is the spark 
to my fire.
Burn on oh sweet one, 
let not the fires 
diminish within my heart, 
nor in yours
