This Great Fire

A haziness fills the air,
This picture is foggy to the eye,
You stand there and stare,
As smoke trickles into the sky.

Still waiting for your loves return,
You gag on the all consuming fumes,
Your body begins to burn,
I am on my way you presume.

And through these thick flames,
You see my shadow in distance,
You hear me calling your name,
As you stand with resistance.

Trapped in this great fire,
But you trust me to break through,
Waiting for the thirst of desire,
Waiting for me to save you.

This burning paradise,
Is our test of endurance,
Once we prevail it will be nice,
As fall back on love as assurance.

I storm into this wall,
The heat is more then we can stand,
I come up to you as you fall,
I catch you and take your hand.

And through these thick flames,
You see my shadow in distance,
You hear me calling your name,
As you stand with resistance.

Trapped in this great fire,
But you trust me to break through,
Waiting for the thirst of desire,
Waiting for me to save you.

Once we are far enough away,
We drop to the ground,
We watch it burn to gray,
Without making a sound.

So much beauty within this disaster,
As it becomes but an ember,
A year later we have grew faster,
We still remember.

And through these thick flames,
You see my shadow in distance,
You hear me calling your name,
As you stand with resistance.

Trapped in this great fire,
But you trust me to break through,
Waiting for the thirst of desire,
Waiting for me to save you.

The ashes that pulled us together,
The smoke that once filled the sky above,
We knew it was now or never,
To prove our love.

We are left with only the memory,
Of the fire where our love made its start,
How much this event means to me,
And how it still burns in our hearts.
