The Flame

Curious
Innocence
Tempted by the flame
I smelled the smoke
And felt the sting
But I would not trade the pain
From the clouds I watched
A couple make a fire on the ground
And I went down to see
But the heat and the smoke blinded me
I was consumed by the fire
Smoke was inhaled by the lovers
As they breathed in
The fire breathed out
Dust in my eyes began
From the ground I watched
An angel peeking through the clouds
So I made a fire
To lure all the lovers' desire
Coaxing the soul from its cradle
To taste of the fleshous things
The fire can be doused
By the creators, too
Ashes will always remake
Curious
Innocence
Tempted by the flame
I smelled the smoke
Felt the sting
But I would not change a thing
