THE FLAMES OF DESIRE

The All Consuming Fire

THE FLAMES OF DESIRE

You have to start by laying the ground work;

Every little ingredient adding up for the final outcome!

A look;

A smile;

A song;

A special location;

A unique phrase;

A gesture!

We all have our hearts desire;

The person or place that feeds our individual fire!

There will be those who pass judgement;

Who mock;

Who belittle!

What a lonely world that must be;

To feel the need to destroy someone's soul purpose!

Their destiny;

Their desires!

You can follow your desires;

Slowly adding one branch at a time to a slow burning fire;

Fueling the flames;

Building to an rush of mind consuming bliss!

Eventually building to a blaze;

An all consuming fire!

Burning everything that dares to stand in it's way;

Touching every aspect of your life!

These are the flames of desire:

Leaving a soft glow in the after math of it's cumulation!
