The Great Blaze

You kindled desire in me Dirty and reckless I followed you down a very narrow lane Rough walls grazed my arms A fire suddenly started behind me I was cut off No way to turn back anymore Flames pushed me on to you Charring all hope in my heart Coils of smoke take my breath away Acrid smell strings my throat The world grows distant and dark Again I am all alone Just like I was before In flame I shall be purified In flame I shall exult I’d rather let them consume me Than feel my insides turn to stone I touch the dancing red The pain is merely a whisper On tips of flames I rise Right into the sublime Blaze, blaze, the great blaze And once this is over Once the great blaze Within and without is spent Once I explode and passion is no more I shall become scattered Into memories and star dust
