Riddle 03
Like the caress of a gentle lover
There is warmth in his embrace.
He draws you near as if in trance
As his body moves with grace.
With his fingers as light air
And as soft to the touch as satin
He creates emotions - hot and strong
And lights within a passion.
But listen to my warning,
Do not get lost in bliss.
There in many hearts have died,
When touched by his kiss.

Answer:
Fire
I compared fire with a lover because of all the elements is it considered the most passionate. There are several word clues in this riddle. “Warmth”, “hot”, “strong”, “light”, and “passion” are all ways to describe fire and/or sensations related to it. If you have ever run your fingers over the tips of a flame you notice it is very hot but also very soft. My warning to not get too lost in its kiss serves to remind that, while fire is very beautiful, many have died because of fires.
