This ember inside of me has yet to be put out
Simply because of the succulent taste you name puts inside my mouth
The words exchanged in a kiss that belong to us and us alone
And so if my journey may be long, know that you are my home

I see your face in constellations found with the starlit nights
I feel your warmth in summer winds as they embrace me tight
Each step I walk may further separate us, but my love stands with you
For in the midst of it all, it insists I stay pure and true

Darling girl of fairy-tales, oh princess of my life
Know my thoughts of you are constant throughout the sun and strife
Know the embers burning within me will not die in this lifetime
Know that this traveling lover boy's passion goes beyond the brine

I will taste your lips soon, oh beauty. 'till then I call your name
And I shall walk on until I am back in your arms or crawl if I am lame
My eyes will look onward, my mind will stay sharp, my legs though tried will stay true
And ever *****, muscle, vein, and cell will feel the embers burning for you
