I am a forest fire for you,

ablaze with love

untamed 

askew.

Dance into me, feel my fervent glow,

in my embrace 

let our passions flow.

As I burn 

all the critters cry.

They shriek and thrash around,

until they fall to the ground.

In my arms 

all creatures die.

Alone I dance with a blazing grace,

wishing you'd join me, 

give into my chase.

But you watch from afar, 

safe and sound,

while everything around me burns down.

Then I fade, 

a star lost in the night.

All I was 

fading out of sight.

What remains is just a bonfire's sigh.

A love too wild, 

a smoldering goodbye.
