"I Want Burning"

I Want Burning


What does it take,
For my soul to be satisfied?
To escape the fever gripping me...
I want burning.
How far do I go,
On this endless journey,
Before life consumes me...
I want ecstasy.
Bloodied and torn, it waits
Tiny as an atom
With infinite space inside...
I want passion.
Will you hold me?
Protect me from the cold
Cradle me in your warmth...
I want love. Let me weep
And forget past misery
Give me hope...
I want life.
