Conquered by Your Fierce and Tender Love

Love’s intense fire burned within your deep eyes,
and your alluring gaze enslaved my heart.
Your warm, fragile tears revealed I am loved,
and love’s fiery blaze consumed my lost soul.

Enticing words of love flowed from your lips,
and your tenderness aroused my desire.
Your soft, sultry voice whispered I am loved,
and calm waters washed away my doubts.

Your protective arms wrapped me in true love,
and your embrace soothed the pain of my youth.
Your light caress made me feel I am loved,
and with a tiger’s strength you conquered me.
