Fire

Strangers touching in the darkness        Exploring unknown territories         At 
first        The drum is slowing beating        Faster and faster        The rythym of 
pounding flesh       Screams of delight      Echo through the dark       Drums 
pounding          Music blaring        At a feverish pitch       Two souls are engulfed 
in flames        Music stops       And once more they are mere mortals       Once 
again
