Burning Flames

Untouched 
by human hands 
smoldering in deep ashes 
sweetly scented feelings 
blowing upon 
sweeping clean 
naked emotions 
gently rising dust 
baring the soul 

Eyes flickering lashes 
love you are a veil 
slowly opening up 
in rose gold 
colored talons 
grasping emotions 
scales with 
a softer light 
holding keys 
to the heart 

Tenderly burning 
in amber desire 
warmly dancing 
within seven rays 
regenerating light 
softly appealing 
lighting passion 
inside red 
a boiling sun 
captivating passion 

Coming out 
from the ashes 
a new life 
mesmerizing beautiful 
igniting sparks 

arising the phoenix 
melting hot 
inflaming love 
a roaring inferno 
breathes upon you 
newborn joy
