There is a quiet golden
in this evening as it settles
unequaled in its beauty
by even that of precious metals
fox and goddess — in this waning hour
the forest bows gently at your feet
golden amber paints the eager land
rolling in twilight’s soothing heat
it dances in the silken air
ignites your copper hair in smolders
folds its warmth upon your bejeweled face
as foliage fondles ’round your shoulders
it spins special magic in the canopy
as though dreams are coming true
paints the forest in sensual splendor
almost as beautiful as you
sweet goddess of the forest
in this moment you catch fire
my frail heart’s a helpless tinder
sparked to flame by love’s desire
as you repose in goddess splendor
you fan further my love’s fire
your beauty touched by the divine
drives the wild flames ever higher
caught in your beauty’s reaching flame
I’m filled with passion’s yearning
my captive soul has roared ablaze
please m’lady — don’t leave me burning
before I am but all consumed
quench me with your goddess kiss
for if I am to be consumed
I pray it be by heady bliss
