The heat from
the blaze in your eyes
is stoking my embers
lighting the path to
my carefully constructed
will of steel;
keeper my secrets,
protector of passion.
The burning
heat of your stare
race up the walls
of my chest
leaping higher,
growing stronger,
revealing this now
dripping and
molten heart.
You radiate.
