Her eyes sparkle bright
And that sparkle is just for me
That gaze of an angel’s light
But there is something else I see
A glimmer of mischief I want to set free
Her smile stirs inside
Me the demon hidden within
A man who will not be denied
The pleasure of making her mind spin
When a kiss releases the firing pin
A kiss joins us in love
As I whisper aloud her name
She is the one I dreamed of
The sprite I cannot hope to tame
Yet she burns in me, my Flame
And when I hold her safe in my arms
The truth must be said
For all my worldly ways and charms
As we lay together on the crumpled bedspread
She holds me safe instead
