Flames

Everytime I get near you
I feel the  heat of flame
the embers can be ignited
with the sound of your name.

I think even your smile
helps the fire to stoke
the way you turn your head
flames rise with no smoke.

But, my goodness,
the lightest of a touch
is like lighting a torch
held in inferno's clutch.

I just know the heat
is like a raging torch
but I'll stay near you
I love being scorched.

On your kisses
I want all the claims
they are the best to ignite
the mightiest of flames.
