Slow Burn
Slow Burn Ten years with you and never a fight, No thunderclap, nor bitter refrain— Just a slow and steady burn we share Like a fire that needs a soothing rain Through all the highways and the miles Your love’s a song playing in my head A melody that calls me home— To you, the fire…..your bed There’s a hunger in that morning light When your skin meets with mine at dawn Intensely fierce yet beautifully slow Lingering long after it’s gone. Forever’s only ours to claim Within love’s sweet and patient flame In passions’s warmth we’ll rise and burn Two hearts that never ache or yearn So let this be my Valentine— Not dressed in lace or borrowed line But written quietly in each dawn Where your slow fire does answer mine John Snelling 02:14:26
