Phoenix

With those kind eyes and that bright smile
You let me into your house,
You let me into your life,
Practically a stranger in your midst.

When our hands touched sparks flew.
In each other’s embrace we started to smoke.
When our lips first touched the pyre roared.
When our bodies collided the flames consumed all.

I flew in like a phoenix ready to die…
You knew the risk
Yet you cradled me in your arms and eased my pains
As us and everything around us went up in flames.

Cleansing flames, purifying flames
Make us pure again.
Melting flames, joining flames,
Make us whole again.

They say that birds of a feather flock together
But we burned together.
Two bright lights colliding in a fiery explosion of life and love.
Together we rise from the ashes.

Our combined fire, our combined light
Outshines the brightest star in the sky.
Destinies intertwined destined to burn
Destinies intertwined destined to live again.
