The Lovers

With a kiss, a gentle touch 
Like the butterfly to the flower 
The night begins to unravel 
In the wake of a meteor shower 

Smooth and silken movements 
Prelude to the final flight 
Fills the pressure vessels 
That explode into the night 

Blood flows like molten lava 
Sets the scene on fire 
The volcano's lid comes off 
Its source spent and tired 

The earth now quiet and calm 
Dying leaves lightly touch down 
Create a sea of warmth 
Their arms enwrapped, the lovers drown
