Lady of Fire

I simply cannot hold back any longer
with these inconceivable feelings.
You know I am writing about you.
I've told you that you were my muse.
You just really don't want to believe it.

My gosh don't take me wrong when you read this.
I have no intention of pushing your buttons.
I respect your devotion and faith.
I still have the right to say how I feel for you
even if you think it is all of a sudden.

I may sound like a worn out record to you
but I cannot keep myself from saying the things that are true.
You do not have to agree that's your prerogative
But that means that the pendulum swings both ways too.
I know what my senses perceive
I know the difference between truth and fantasy.
I am sane and not really that crazy.
I am well aware of how to differentiate pretend from reality.
If I don't know my heart then who the hell does?
I am much stronger than I may seem at first glance
But I am a fiery sort who loves to jump and take a chance.
I respsect you if you desire to wade in the shallow end
as long as you don't mind watching me dance deep within.

I know for a fact that you do not mind one tiny bit.
God help me if you ever took that torrent and unleashed it.
You are the fire that fuels my dance.
Even if you say you don't want it.
I still have the soulful need to perform and you would like to enjoy it.

I do not mean  to tempt or tease you
I wish you would not even imply.
You know I smolder at the slightest hint of you it's true.
I refuse to sit there and burn and then claim I don't see a fire.
If I say we are icy then that makes me a bold face liar.
Squelching the spirit within me makes me sad and blue.
what you are attracted to in me is my freedom of spirit and my strength. Then it is swirling and burning way down inside me.
I cannot and will not let it reside within.
I choose to set it free
that is just the woman I am.

Would you pin a little butterfly down by her dainty blue wings?
Would you tear the petals off of a pale pristine daisy?
Would you take a baby blue bird from her mum?
would you turn away from a child who was cold and hungry?

Of course you wouldn't.
You are a caring and brilliant light.
Who also possesses the deepest and darkest midnight.
We are kindreds and I adore you even if I shouldn't.

As long as I force nothing upon you that you do not want
what harm is there in my dance?
I mean the entire dance not just the playful one.
Perhaps this really is something rare and a one time chance.
I cannot live if I don't know the final outcome.

Give me a few stanzas to simply share exactly what you mean to me and it doesn't matter if you call it my fantasy.
You're bright as orion in the vast galaxy
You're as elegant as a single white rose.
You're as peaceful as night in its infinite glory
You're as fervent as my wild ranting prose.

Your voice is alluring like the water in a brook.
Your face is chiseled and strong.
Your smile it lights up the sky in one look.
The comfort you gave me has never gone wrong.

The generosity you show
with wisdom and truth
I admire so much you must know.
I have never met anyone as special as you.
You're as gentle yet passionate as the change that the wind blows.

You re under my skin
inside my mind
tucked deep within
if you want I will hide.
i'll never forget just how that we met
You lifted me up
when my heart had been bled.

My heart it chose you.
it's not our decision
so captivating and true.
Please don't question it.


I realize this is a long piece..it was just very important for me to get out the vast whirlpool of feelings inside my heart, soul and my mind that is churning for this person that i hold so dear.
