Est-ce l'amour

Candlelight's flicker
My eyes light upon your own
And the air hums sweet music
Of a song you've never sung
You who's every move  
Dance before my eyes
A scarlet flame
Startled by the wind
From unknown depth
In a sea too deep to swim
As you in stillness shimmer
Fraught with incense
Fragrant as petals  
Bedewed
Unfolding in the dawning
And I  
Dizzy in your gaze
Speak a foreign tongue
Barbaric to my ear
Your smile sweet poetry
Too ethereal for my soul
As I fall swirling
Lingering
Adrift within your eyes
A certain sunrise flame
The Seine
The Pont de l’Archevêché
So long dreamt
Where now my  
Love lies bound
