When I look, I should know;
My Flame dances before me
A wonder! Behold!
Chance must Adore me!
For who stands so close
To a Flame all consuming?
Then I, to impose
Hands on fires form, looming.
Entranced as I grapple
Ever closer to light
All seems so simple
As fire burns out my sight.
No mind I am paying
To my hands as they burn
My heart just keeps saying
I love you, I yearn
The Flame shows no sorrow
for it just does as it knows
It will burn me tomorrow
As sure as wind blows.
But I stay and I linger
And I love and I burn
Until finally no longer
Does my flesh for flame yearn.
For my body is all char
Used and spent up
All coal is my heart
As Love is sent up
In the smoke of the Flame
An offering from me
To the Gods of no name
An offering of me.
The Flame, it goes on,
As long as there's Fuel
And I am all gone
As I've played the fool.
