Amber

In the darkness of night

Your eyes shone

Amber tinged

Flecked with bronze

Irradiated by invisible fire

And as our twin desires

Danced

Deep within the furnace of desire

My being

Came undone

As you opened me

Fold upon fold

Surrendering my breath to love

How can it be

That this

Our passionate alchemy

Opens a places in me

So tightly closed before

Freeing me of

This terrible burden

Of insufficiency

And

Within your eyes of amber

My own gaze is held entranced

If love is this overpowering dance

Of desire, passion and surrender

Then I am your willing captive

And so flung by this embrace

My soul is born aloft

On an uprush of ecstasy

I feel my soul fly free

On wings of fire

Towards the most

Heavenly of climbs

You are the deep note

That bids my desire

Rise higher and higher

Until I drop

Finally freed

Falling and falling

Deep into a chasm

Of electric fire

And ecstacy
