When I am with you,
I burn.
When I am with you,
I am consumed.
You make me ferocious,
Virtually unstoppable,
You make me shine,
Bright against the darkness,
You make me dance,
Flames flicking against the space.
The flints strike and the tinder lights,
Darkness is engulfed by your presence,
Everything a little bit lighter for the brief time you are there,
Fire grows and absorbs everything,
For you are the light scaring darkness away,
The power of love.
But shadows still loom around the scary dark night,
You cast them and they dance,
Puppets of some higher power,
Angels of the black,
Never the same twice,
Fire burns like an oven.
But still you bring hope,
Peace,
Opportunity,
Unity,
Comfort and warmth,
For as long as you burn.
