The colors mesmerize
They dance across your face
Flames conduct a jazz recital
My heartbeat meets their pace
Your eyes gaze at me
With a hunger that feeds
You touch with your thoughts
Fulfilling all needs
Wrap me in your warmth
With soul, body, and mind
Touch my lips so gently
To taste the sweet, sweet wine
