What beauty have I found
In looking for something, anything,
I found that priceless diamonds and gems
hold no worth in her presence

Who am I...
Who am I to find such beauty?

What man can say
"I have found what all men have sought after
for all their lives but have never even seen a glimpse"?

Who am I to find Atlantis?
Who am I to find El Dorado?


Her elegance and radiance draw me in
The dreams lose their value
My addiction grows strong to this incandescent reality

Sit with me lady of fire
sing for me in silence
bring forth your autumn display
that never ceases to bringing ecstasy to my eyes

You are the fire that burns away
the barriers of my heart
my soul now ashes beneath the autumn leaves

In the words of Charles Bukowski
"There is no lie in her fire"
