Love's Pheonix!

Summer skies filled with summer sun cannot hope to illuminate
As bright as the incandescent blaze your love has made my fate

No ocean swell or its darkest depths could douse the brightest flare
Of your love's cataclysmic fire, but forward I will dare

To tread so boldly, without doubt for my heart will be purged anew
Tempered afresh in the flames of love, ready to welcome you

You who has swept aside my defences, has battered down the door
That locked love from my heart, its portal stands open ready for you to pour

The sweetest elixier of your love, a cordial so refined,
That floods my heart with the sweetest sensation as in your arms i'm reclined

And faint from the heat within arms that surround me, I melt on the pyre prepared
To be shaped and remoulded as your love would have me, for into your fire I dared,

To tread with joy, with sweet elation the day you said "I Love You"
Now I lie there , a fragment of past desolation born again in your love so true,

For summer skies filled with summer sun cannot hope to illuminate
AS bright as the incandescent blaze your love has made my fate
