My Pyre

Beneath the cradled clouds of Sprintime
I was a schoolgirl neath your charms
A trembling bird upon the new nest
About to fly from mother's arms

You drew a string to pull the Moon down
My breathless heart awaited fire !
Within the tempered glass that shattered
A seed of love, you were my pyre

The rivers flow, the oceans swell
my pores, my blood, the story tells
Of endless love found in a dream
Of longing streams that ever gleam

Now time as hell awaits we tell
The secrets of the heart's desire
You'll carry all the light we need
Our hearts as one, our souls a fire
