Steel, Flint and Tinder

i watch that ember burn,

in a slow-roasting fire.

i hear each individual crackle,

exciting my inner-most desire;

 

to feel that blaze a'burning,

deep inside of my heart.

that's ceased, post-recently,

to strike the steel to start.

 

blood type: irrelevant,

for it's flint flowing through my veins.

the tinder within must surely be damp,

else you, my dear, fight flames like rain.
