Step Closer to the Flame

I heard you know
about wild romance
and were the kind of man
willing to take a chance
to abandon fear
throwing caution to the wind
convincing me hearts
don’t break they bend
then step right up
if that’s the man you are
you could be just the man
I’m looking for
for my hearts been hurting
but starting to heal
been numb too long
it’s time to feel
but this time around
this woman’s not so tame
so if I haven’t scared you yet…
step closer to the flame

WOW!!!! *giggling* you sure say what you feel. I am sure you will find men able to take the heat of your flame. Well done.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

I know the power of flame,
The burning desires that consume,
The heat the can’t be tamed,
Burning out much too soon.

Wouldn’t you rather something less,
Not blinding just a little bit dimmer,
Or are you moth-like to brightness,
What’s wrong with a slow simmer?

there is nothing wrong with a simmer
but the flame I had was just a glimmer
too long upon the burner back
time to get myself on track

You walked toward a glimmer in the distance,
Continued onward with hope’s persistence,
Each step you took closer the more it would fade,
Wasn’t a burning just a reflection self made.
So seek the heat of a true and lasting fire
I hope you resume towards your hearts desire

Cool write, or should I say hot. I really like this. I know where you're writing form here, been feeling a little like this myself lately.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
