Burning Passion

Fire, burning bright
Fire shining, smokey dancing
Fire, glowing in my eyes.

It has me mesmerised
As it reassures me with a cool smile
I drift to it, hesitantly.

With every flap of my wings,
I find myself a little closer
To the flame that moves not
But neither holds still.

And then I start to singe
I'm engulfed in my own ashes
My burning love finds its answer
'I never asked you to come'
