My Black Art

I am the One
I bring the fire
Vaporize your body
evident of perspire

I bring the heat
burning more then cayenne
Too dangerous to hold
Keep away from children

I am the lighter
Friction sends a spark
Blow out the flame
Live alone in the dark

I bring you warmth
thaw your numb heart
such sensless perfection
this is my black art

I'll draw you in
Much like a flare
Leave you blinded with joy
A feeling quite rare.
