I flirted once, with fire;
perhaps I was a different man then,
and still bold with the impulse of youth.
The feral hunger of desire,
has lured astray far better men;
Beauty has long been fate's sharpest tooth.
I danced once, with fire;
though she walked in human form,
with dark eyes hiding the inferno inside.
And as her flames grew higher,
destroying my world in a lustful storm;
I never once even thought to hide
I loved once, with fire;
hot skin covering burning souls,
two suns succumbing to shared gravity.
Now, as I lie upon this funeral pyre,
my immortal spirit gazes upon the blazing coals;
and rejoices for the return to her brilliant insanity.
I lived once,
quiet and cold, harmless
a liar.
But when I died,
I did it as an honest man,
with fire.
