Set me on fire! - inspired by 1slick_lady's poem, "A Poet's fire"

"Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
NIV Psalms 18 :8-10

These are the flames that send the blaze
Of love's hot searing cleansing daze
To carry souls into the blue
Beyond all moons and Silver, too.

Into far galaxies of light
Into a land where there's no night
And so I offer you my pen
To enter in, my soul within.

And when you fuse your soul in me
My love will always be so free
There is no bondage, in Love's star
For you decide your distance, far.

And just enjoy the magic of
Eternal everlasting love
For God in me is yours to savor
In any candy, ice cream flavor.

All I ask is that you, too
Treat me the same way I treat you.

Set me on fire!
