Fire's Burning Still

Darling!!
The fire's burning still in my blood
As you look at me,
that look in your eyes
Through me burning incandescently!
What a marvellous creature says you
As I get up and brush my hair
Fires still burning within you
Change you have not...
And I laugh gazing at him.
The decaying of me he does not see
Your still that girl I first saw in that far away land
Your shy smile, just as your smiling now
Just like a flower an exotic flower waiting to be picked
A bird of paradise in the sunshine...
I fell for you then and there
Now, looking at you you've lost not that elegance
I saw in you, it's still there as you brush your hair
His eyes following me every which way I moved
That proud look in your eyes!
The fires still burning in his minds, eyes
as he pulls me on to him...
I see not, this mesmerisation he has of me
Has been there from the start...
Yet I thought you mad, this obsession this hold on me.
But love resided, in my heart fluttering butterflies
We had eyes for no other
Coming back time after time
To my island in the sun
Making love with your eyes
Your camera lens spoke volumes in my face...
Wrapping me on that staircase
Every angle of me you took whispering
Devine!
And you haven't lost that look in your eyes
Fires burning all the while
As you made love with your eyes
I feel your eyes burrowing into me as I move
from A to B
Yet at times I've doubted in my mind
This love has lasted such a long time.
For I had eyes not, for any other
Spoiling my chances of some other love
But the fires were burning wild
There was no chance for any other love
Yet they won't let me be, chasing me
Silly fools go away let pass...
For, I have eyes for no other, but he!
Even today they do stare, even at my sell-by date
It's not as if I were a beauty...
& I think bloody fools, making my life miserable
But there are times in my minds, mind
I seem to think I need much more than I need
Having, experienced no other, was I missing something!
Would love alone suffice, to make me see
That I need no other but he!
A bed of roses has been not at, all times
For I have a mind of my own
Clashing at times breathing fire like a dragon...
The devilishness in me!
Calming down he seemed to think...
That love has won somehow...
Yet I see others looking through me
Am I missing, something, unfaithful I've never been
Except at times in my mind, wanting more than I need
For the fires are burning inexorably...
Burning in his eyes going through that elusive look
Simmering ember, O' my!!
Your the Stellar in my eyes as he reaches me
As we make love, intrinsically
The ecstasy running through my body my mind
As in a vice, he takes me...
At that moment in time escape, I want not
Consuming the fires my mind
As he whispers yet again you've changed not a bit
But the decaying of me he seems not to see
A tear flowing silently from my eyes
With such intensity loving me
Even my tears extinguish cannot the fire,s between us
As he eloquently brushes from my eyes
I cry out in the delirium of love
Embers burning his eyes
The fires still burning!
In our eyes!
