Stoke my fires
timeloveidentity
Stoke my fires
Let the embers burn
The hot cinders
Spitting their defiance
Soon it will be their turn
To die
Unless I am rekindled
Is that all we are
A solar flare
Carried in backdraft
A weight
Upon the conscience
What does it mean
To say I love you
When there is no one there
If you care at all
Stir me up
With more than
The promise of a kiss
Give me bliss
Fill my soul
With the flame
Of a burning bush
Bring me the magic
Of reignition
That I may bathe
In the heat
Of our connection
For all time
