Love Poem: Flames

Flames

Lighting up the night
       passion like 
  a river 
of boiling water 
   runs through the blood
of 
the 
two 
lovers 
       darkness envelops 
them
       hearts, like drums
beat 
     in 
       rhythm 
Two individuals 
touching gently 
            find solace 
an escape 
from the urban
              atmosphere
No crowds here 
    Just two lovers 
embracing 
           Their eyes shine 
as overhead 
    the man in the moon 
smiles
      Another night of joy 
As he watches 
          from above 
He sees what really matters
