The art of connection is not by chance.
More of investment and less of dance.
Follow this guide, to a T, to have a chance.
For connection or romance.
Step 1
Two people meet who identify potential.
Potential advertisements successful.
Interest of purchase, the game is on.
Time for negotiation.
“This is what I want, and this I see in you
we could be magnificent, do you see it too”?
Step 2
The two parties state their terms.
What I want, need, now you, take turns.
This is what would make it happen for me,
what I would need for ease and harmony.
Lists categorised by priority.
Lists of what would hurt as **** if you agree?
Step 3
Comparison of wins and gains and risks and pains
in our now well documented passions.
Stated clearly in the contract, attachments,
terms and conditions.
Does the potential magic outweigh the discomfort?
Knowing all, would you be a suitable consort?
Not free of flaws, just flaws matching mine.
The positives showing potential, long term growth,
and something less tangible. A sign?
Step 4
Consideration of the terms for the exchange.
Feel free to bring in outside counsel,
all normal, nothing strange.
*** I think they like me”?
“Do you think he even cares”?
“I don't know if she is ready”.
Doubts like this no longer stand a chance.
Step 5
Place fourth what you'd be willing to invest, on the table.
Be careful not to place more than you are actually able.
Step 6
Potential trial runs, if stated clearly in the terms.
Experience the chemicals of connection
and see if trust can be earned.
Did reality meet expectations?
Where there all the right sensations in our relations?
Giving passion a chance in this well structured test.
With everything now on the table,
are the parties ready to potentially invest?
Any last warnings to heed?
Excellent, I believe we are ready to proceed.
The parties gather for progression
as it is time for
Step 7
An agreement is reached at last.
Taking into account all that has passed.
The details have been discussed.
“Yes, Christmas with my family is a must”.
Will they walk their separate ways,
or will the fires of romance be set ablaze?
The beginning of a great love story,
with nothing lost and potential true connection won.
If you just follow the steps in investment 101.

Imagine! We see God's image in creation
He created us in His own image and likeness
I see in my mind a dim and glorious image
Beautifully, I behold this wondrous visage:
In tongues of fire the Spirit descends
And with boldness, our faith, we defend.
Preach the Gospel by your words and living
And with great gladness and joy always giving
Of yourselves in service to your fellow man,
And using your gifts as best as you can.
We are called, we are equipped, and sent out
By the Spirit of God whom we shall not doubt.
My weary bones are filled with new life
My blood is hot and almost burns
I am electrified as the Spirit comes alive
My flesh cries out, my soul how it yearns!
If you are what you should be
You'll set the whole world ablaze.
May the love of God spread like wildfire
And may the nations forever praise.
What an image: imagine!

my eyes still burn
from the last time we locked them
you and I are like
fires
everyone and everything around us
trying to extinguish us
but our eyes
they meet and make a forest fire
they meet and planets explode
it's like there's nothing else
keeping me from moving on
except for the way our eyes
used to ignite at a mere glance.

hypnotic dreams, what are you telling me?
I feel everything, I feel myself unraveling
the beautiful ribbons suddenly choking me
I can't breathe, I can't see
the winding road ahead, me ever leaving this bed
possibilities are endless but not in my head
there's only one way or else I stray
cannot see myself set ablaze at the stake
I thought I was magic
turns out I am just a magnet for tragic endings
suspending my beliefs, diving deep
I hope I can reignite the spark in me
the sparks I bleed and not just drown in this sea
heaven watch over me

a wave of air
a stream of fire
a world ablaze
a person enranged
a life encaged
and eyes
and a smile
and everything
and you.

It left me burning. I expected hollow, but never the all together searing smoking pain. An eternal scalding I cannot shake. I envisioned my eyes aglow, instead my inside set ablaze

O like a breeze they stemmed,
From the north, like a storm;
Trampled these feet of ours!
A far reaching spell alone brought
Auguries of a will and ravage;
A hunger to be scorched.
Standing at the crossroad of a time,
Holding the floor tide by tide;
Aiming thus far fair and well.
Nor a soul ever was to complain,
First were they once they came;
And seats taken all the same.
Minuscule down the immense
Must all find where to commence
A motion towards shared quests?
But as these perish, unsheathed swords,
Their sediments to restore the world
And all else shall be vain!
May some through fortune stand and last
Upon all this dream of a burning land
Way up high beyond stars.

Some days,
Things go your way
Some days,
Others, you want to cry all day.
When the worst days come
And trust me, they will,
Just start to hum,
And keep going over that hill.
When it feels like the world,
Is tumbling down,
Deep into the underworld,
And you think you may drown.
Hold your head up high,
And just push on,
Keep your face to the sky,
And focus thereon.
When everything around,
Feels like it's ablaze,
While you are fear-bound,
Trapped in a maze.
Think back to the best days,
When you saw the future bright,
For that future is always,
Just within your sight.

I'd set the world ablaze
Just to watch the flames
Dance in her eyes

With the width of the universe's expanse,
outer space holding stars within its hands,
of the millions of stars shooting ablaze,
the Sun somehow shines on you everyday.

Once walking through the clouds of heaven
An angel did spy on the ground below
Curious to learn the ways of the mortals
She shed her halo and carefully packed up her wings
She bid the comfort of heaven farewell, eager for more
And fell to Earth
The world greeted her, ablaze with flames
These flames began to burn around her heart
Promising to keep the Angel warm whilst she ventured on
Heaven envied the joy that the Earth did provide
And heaven wept
Rain poured from the sky
The fire that the Angel fell so in love with had started to die out
As the flames faded, she grew weak
But a spark had always lived inside the Angel
It ran through her blood
She unpacked her wings and attached them to her back
She knew the spark was there
She had grown weary of heaven’s jealousy
And knew it was time to battle
The Angel’s fire was so strong it put out the rain that had tried to **** her
Her wings were aglow with orange and red
For the fire didn’t control her, she controlled it

Even though humans struggle to live and darkness is easier memorized than light..
Moments of bliss and happiness are still likely to occur,
Perhaps not today perhaps it will take a longer time,
That is what I find very beautiful,
The love of life which rarely is set ablaze by events,
Rejoicing, in the truest bliss alike spiders in their tiny dance,
Forgetting the heavy rain and feeling alive on the highest level,
Even though, it is likely to fade as if it was dust carried away by a gentle breeze of the coming spring, far away till the horizon,
A moment of love can change a persons view of the world,
Motivate them to keep on fighting to experience the sheer amount of joy and happiness carried to them by the purest state of the mind,
Until all the shrapnel of their hearts rejoin and shine beyond the scene, with light coming from above the heavens, golden, free of sin,
And when the sunset ends these cheerful moments, their memories live on, reminding, recalling and pointing out to fight furthermore,
Even though humans stuggle to live wretchedly,
Living,
Is what I find very beautiful.

I long for long nights
wearing wool cardigans
in London streets
snow crunching under my leather boots
You
In my right arm
and a fire burning in my chest.
Every glance into your piercing blue eyes
is the gasoline that keeps my heart ablaze.
The snow begins to fall
and you cry
because this hasn’t happened
we haven’t met
this is a dream
a longing
to one day be with you,
whoever you are.

The sun is forever shining
Calling out to us
To listen to the secrets of the universe
Receive his all knowing light
Within an unforgiving glare
Blazing fire that burns to the touch
We remain adamant
That the truth is only what we know
Only the facts and numbers
But to know if anything at all
We need to understand
To banish the idea
That truth is just about numbers
Fractions facts and statements
Truth is what the universe has to offer
That we blatantly deny our next generations
The truth is creation and imagination
Intensity and insanity

It's hard to believe that we were just
Feet away from each other at one time,
Your dark eyes and brown short hair,
Your soft voice, and my endless crying,
(Still in pain from that day you told me to
Go my own pointless separate way)
You and I, we hold each other so close
From such a great distance-in my mind.
It's just like they all say, love is burning,
My house is in a fire ablaze, I am so burnt up
Over you. I will watch as the skies set fire,
I will wait until it burns down every last
Square inch of this place of evil in it's entire.
There will be no end to my pain
Until this world ends or you and I are
Holding each other just the same!

Her shadow fell on water,

You are the flame,
that ignites my soul,
and sets my passion ablaze.

The truth inside is a dying flame.
It flickers faintly
like an echo of days long ago
politely passing through.
Though warmth still radiates
and cradles the soul,
charred remains tell a story
of a fire that once burnt
so much brighter.
You may fuel the flame,
fan it, respark it,
or even start it over from scratch,
but nothing compares to that first encounter
that set the world and time ablaze
right before your eyes.
We gather around it
though faces and places
are ever changing;
the songs and spirits
dancing through the air
flirt with the familiar
and comfort this sense
of wasted time.
In every truth is a lie,
like light bound to a flame,
and you are powerless
as the story unfolds
and nature does as it does:
it keeps moving along.

I'll bring the gasoline
You bring the flame
I'm a Pyromanic, baby
So set my heart ablaze.

So messed up
So confused
Lost in my own head
Actions - not my own
******* over
Multiple times
By what was to be
My success
My life
I never knew
That life could be so difficult
Been declined and denied
Oh, too many times over
Set the world ablaze
Light it on fire
Burn the world
And savour the heat
Keep it in
Until finally it becomes
Too much
Then burst
And burn
And shine
Like a supernova

Don't come too close
I smolder without flame
Until you place your lips on mine
Set my world on fire; set me ablaze.
I warn you I may burn you
Not out of spite
But out of fear
Protect myself from the coal in our hearts
Together we may burn down anything that's near.
In early morning I cool down
From inferno to dimly lit flame
A flickering ember in the fireplace
A glow of warmth in the arms of you.

It was your fault,
That this happened,
That this sparked,
Its all your fault.
It really is,
No matter what you say,
No matter what happens,
Its all your fault.
For if you set a fire under me,
Expecting a petty spark,
You instead get a wild fire,
Its all your fault.
It won't disappear,
It won't die down,
Its all your fault.
It will only grow,
And start up new flames,
Its all your fault.
You wonder why its all your fault?
Well the answer is simple,
Its all your fault,
For setting me ablaze.
