Put Out the Fire

Put out the fire
Or else be inspired
Prepared to be amazed
Knocked into a daze
Beseeching no praise
Never elusive of the sun’s rays
Shinning bright
Your smile tonight
Under the fading stars of the universe
Remember her like she’s your first
Freeing a man of all that is cursed
Such exponential emotion cannot be rehearsed
Slowed-down or deterred
It runs wild
Limitless and free
Only me, you, a world of possibility
Heavens and Earth
Dare contemplate how much a beloved heart is worth
A hand held
A smile returned
A kiss earned
A fire burned
All night
Out of sight
Finally, everything could be alright
It might just
It just may
On my mind when I woke today
Here I sit
But with you I think
A bit uneasy to even blink
For if I do
And Vanish you may
There is no religion that could inspire me to pray
So blink I will not
My eyes kept frozen on the spot
Which you stand
Where you lie
Walking away with the heart of another guy
Blessed perhaps
Blessed, we’ll see
Hold your breath, until you can see
Where we stand, where we lie
Under yet another, star-filled sky
And when you breathe
I’ll kiss your lips
And if you ask me not to leave
Let us be floating without bound, in serendipitous bliss.
