I'M on fire!
My heart, it melts in your presence, those eyes they chain me…
And love you I must
Your smiles, fairies that dance round so free
While sprinkling their dust
I am completely lost in something
In what I do not know
In a trance, perhaps?
I do not understand but, I can’t let it go
Its love I’m sure
That has me confused
For when you take my hand to love you even more…
I stand here accused
The chains of passion they weigh heavenly upon me
To be kept always at your side
My heart is your prisoner and your love is the key
To try to escape you then, tides will subside
Our love, stainless steel can never be broken
Shaped upon the anvil and forged in hottest of fires
The essence of this sonnet it has transformed
As the phoenix Inspiring, all of my hopes, dreams and every one of my flaming desires
