flames

My Love

My eyes swell up in tears when I think of you, my Love
Like leaves covered in drops of dew

My heart jumps up in delight when I think of you, my Love
Like flowers at the first sight of spring

My soul is filled with strength when I think of you, my Love
Like lions protecting their precious cubs

I become nothing when I think of you, my Love
Like moths burned in their love of flames

I become everything when I think of you, my Love
Like the rare souls that find you
Within themselves and without

Your Love has set my soul on fire
And you, my dear, are precious air
Come and feed my burning flames
So we may dance as one forever

But you’ve also burnt my edges
Tangled yourself around me
I want to swerve into nothing
Until it sets us free

So enter in this passion
Until your being melts away
And rise up as an amber
Flying in freedom’s name

My dear, you are my oasis
Stop hovering and come rest in me
My love is patiently waiting
Because fire is when you’re with me
