Love Rekindled

Flames lick the back of my neck,
heat engulfs us both
you peeled off my deceptive mask
to reveal the frightened girl
that lies beneath the stone like stare
living in her fantasy world
afraid of loving, no one had ever cared.
A kiss upon my lips so soft
passion bursting in my chest
love once thought was lost
rekindled and stronger than before
beauty not judged but rather cradled
within your hands awaiting to be adored
soul so delicately frail.
An embrace leaving me breathless
words can't describe how I feel
my fingers through your hair move restless
your eyes twinkling like the stars
warming me with your stare
soothing my once aching heart
engulfing me with bottomless care,
leaving us with,
love rekindled.
