Altar Of Love

Altar Of Love


It was under a canopy dark
Illuminated only by stars
We heard the pounding of our hearts
Our eyes reflected Mars

On a blanket placed in daisies
We slowly sipped red wine
Some might think us crazy
We just felt divine

I relished in your beauty
Dressed all in red lace
Brushed away your long brown hair
To better see your face

Your eyes of brown so warm
Invited me to fall
Our kiss as hot as fire
To passion we gave all

Here is where you surrender
Your body and soul to me
On this our very own alter
I never want to leave
