Igniting Love's Flame
Beyond cloister walls surrounding my heart,
Lies the deep well of my immortal tears.
Shrouded by darkness while cloaked by love’s art,
My crimson heart’s trapped in my body’s mere.
Chambers of tissue with dungeons so stark,
Defeat the challenge on each tier.
Rescue me, from loneliness’ grand sea,
Come conquer my love and set my heart free,
I’m warming up from the shivering cold,
Tangled up in my sheets of solitude.
You’re igniting my flame deep in my soul,
The closer you get, my heart’s in the nude.
As shadows dance to flickering hot coals,
Come liberate me from being so prude.
You’re a goddess of knight fighting for me,
A maiden of pride with fairness to thee.
Liberation is key, in love’s sole reign,
As you swiftly battle to win my love.
The things we face are inflicting sharp pains,
For those are the struggles we face because,
It’s worth fighting for the ones we belove,
Nothing amounts to that happiness gained.
It’s you who conquered love, stealing my heart,
Unchained my captive soul for a new start.
