The Fire Inside

I burn within the fires
 of a secret heart desires
  to love and lust with all it inspires.
There is an ember glow, 
   deep inside my soul
    when dreams are in the flow.
A magma river that streamed
   sliding in and out my dreams
    where you held my heart in loving screams.
Fan the flame, let the oxygen breathe
   and in your arms I can be the thief
    where I alone am shaft and you the sheaf.
Let the fire consume you and me
   never set me free
    while I'm lost in the embrace of destiny.
I yearn
   in the obsessive turns
    within my heart that burns
I'm on fire.
