To Our Love

To Our Love

This toast is to our love.
Let us raise glasses and rejoice.
This is to the fires burning,
The passions stoked,
The creaking in the bed,
That vixen look in your eyes,
That come hither smile
Oh, to be seduced,
And so close to you body and soul

This is to our love.
Let’s get past the champagne
Throw the bottle away.
It wasn’t that good a year anyways
This is to your kiss
This is to your lips
This is to the motions we insist
On carrying out tonight

This is to our hearts,
As they beat faster, faster
To our passions that overflow
Like a river.
To the rhythm we keep,
Like a relentless waltz
To the feelings of desire quenched
In our bodies and souls.
