Secret Fires

Antithesis

Shadows hug the walls

Embracing

Whispering, breathing

On my face



Tell me of forbidden dreams

Help me help you

Make them true confessions

Shared

Let me know my secret's safe with you



Speechless, only body language

Translates our emotions

Understand



Lying, here beside you

Undressed feelings exposed

Are now expressed



Tell me all of your desires

Tell me yours are mine to keep

Lighting secret fires

Moans in morning hours

Know not sleep



Trusting, exchanging vows

Two liars chancing

We commit ourselves in lust



Knowing, soon the dawn

Will end our evening

We will count the hours

We have spent

Lighting secret fires
