FIRE WITHIN

You’ve ignited fires from within
for so long
dormant embers laid
Fuel these flames of passion
with your gentle words and praise
Stroke these coals of burning life
let them lick and melt your heart

Hot and glowing around you
my heated arms enfold
Allow the stormy winds to scatter
the ashes of the past

Words gone before don’t matter
Tis now and forever
let this fervent fire last.
