Fragrant flames
are all I see,
their nectars draw me close
by their passion I know them
be the sweet scent we see
I am in awe
this is my plea.
Fragrant flames
are all around us,
they are the essence we seek
to lovers that hear
listen closely
lest your passions fade.
Fragrant flames
are what I love,
something sweet is needed
yes it's needed beyond reason
just like perfume
it never leaves us.
Fragrant flames
surround us today,
their presence keeps me alive
just like myrrh
embalm me in your thoughts.
Fragrant flames
dancing around our hearts,
they give us more warmth
warmth we all seek
my truth is clear
my flame is in need of you.
Fragrant flames
forged by cupid's own hands,
drawn by the bows of the gods
feel me up with your thoughts
yes I'm in need
in need of you.
Fragrant flames
shedding light in darkness,
a light we all need
so many cold places
just one heart
let me breathe in your scent
the very one you are.
