Kindred Soul
Darkness surrounds me,
held at bay by the flames that dance before me.
The creatures of the night are the only sound.
I watch the flames dance.
Darkness surrounds him,
held at bay by the flames that dance before him.
The creatures of the night are the only sound.
He watches the flames dance.
His eyes are my eyes.
But his time is not.
We watch the flames dance.

Our Love, A Slow Steady Burn
When I looked at you
and saw your smile.
When you spoke to me
and left me spellbound.
When we shared our first meal.
I felt it.
Like good whiskey going down
Our love, a slow steady burn.
When you held my hand
and kissed my nose.
When our lips first met.
The first I love yous
and night of love.
I felt it.
Like good whiskey going down
Our love, a slow steady burn
When you spun me round
and promised never to let me go.
When we said I do
and you took her as your own
I felt it.
Like good whiskey going down
Our love, a slow steady burn
Time has flown.
But I still feel it.
Like good whiskey going down
Our love, a slow steady burn.

Always Here
Alone in the darkness,
Illuminated only by fire light and distance stars.
She found it.
She felt it
and wondered.
Why had it not occurred to her to look for it here before?
For where else could it be but here.
Always here.
She thought.
Always here
