The Fire


How long mends the broken heart yearning to be
Apart from the moment it needs to be free?
Entangled and distant, forever to wonder
The length of the road they have buried it under

So long to be held
Long for feeling higher
The heat, all-consuming
The fire?
Desire

How low hangs the head of the wicked indeed
When the time is approaching to bail and bleed?
Enticed and excited by nothing whatever
The strength of the ties only waiting to sever

So long to be held
Long for feeling higher
The heat, all-consuming
The fire?
Desire

How much would we risk to be other than lonely?
The heart and the mind and the life and the only
Entranced by the promise of feeling your best
A lifetime to fill in the space in your chest

So long to be held
Long for feeling higher
The heat, all-consuming
The fire?
Desire
