Love's Sweet Cache

'twas deep in passion's fervor
that we became as one
and spoke soft words of promise
'til ardor's flame was gone

Then off into the dark of night
you rode reluctantly
followed by the echo
of my impassioned plea

I'll wait adorned in silken gown
Return to me, oh love divine
Refill my vessel, I implore
and anoint me with your wine

Pray, do not let this ardent fire
consume my heart away
Come back now, my darling
Savor with me love's sweet cache
