Fire and Wind

 

 

~ Fire and Wind ~

 

You are fire and wind

elements that ignite me

 

fiery passion

temperatures rise

your breeze becomes a tempest

I become lost in your storm

and it's contagious

 

your smile, so warm

heats up each path it travels

it eludes me now

and I tremble

 

your touch, but a whisper

it passes right through me

as if I wasn't there

 

you are fire and wind

elements that destroy me

 

I stand in your arena

the seeing, and unseen,

walk - don't run

I hesitate

(do you remember me?)

 

fan the flames

keep the scars

the warning flashes in the sky

 

tempt the tempest

seal my fate

what have I become?

 

you circle me

I feel your heat

not sure I can resist

 

you reach for me

I say a prayer

and enter into the storm.
