LAMBENT TONGUES OF FLAME

 Deep down the dense tropical jungle
Where wild animals love to bungle
There’s a large ferocious tiger
Who is subdued by a pit viper

When it comes to passionate lovemaking
I’m the ferocious tiger, you’re the pit viper
From dusk till dawn we keep the fire burning
Passion never dies fueled with glowing embers

I come charging like a wild bull frothing
As you rock like a boat tossed by the tempest
Until we’re both exhausted hardly breathing
While the silvery moon hides at your behest

Suicidal thoughts linger in my weary brain
When dark cloudy days, depression sets in
Only your undying love gives the will to live
In the power of love, we must always believe

Like the luminous stars that lose their brightness
Virility in my graying days is starting to wane
Only true love can keep the flames of happiness
Hoping the fire within us shall not die in vain
