Passion's Fire
Come, my precious one,
drink deep this fount of passion’s fire,
so far beneath a clown’s facade.
Revel in its beauty,
the sweet pleasure and bitter pain,
as it bites and caresses your heart and soul.
Unlock its love,
controlled yet boundless,
lurking deep within its shadowed pool.
Unbridle its lust,
release its questing hands,
to soothe and enflame your hidden yearnings.
Engrave its heart,
burning your name into its walls,
with the fire you hold inside.
Entwine its soul,
with the splendor of you,
a merging of all we are or will become.
Come, my precious one,
dare to open heart and soul,
and see beneath a clown's facade.
