Tax Collectors - loving the deep meaning too much

On a pure crystal you sing
Weaving magic on your wing
Ice firing from desire beneath
Sunbathing friends
Drying their wings
This is a day to live
Magic firing your words
Songs no-love no-one heard
Still with sorrow as you perch
Heat melting every dream
Heart bursting every seam
Melting your stars to die
River floods your desire
Rocks calm your flight to fire
Torrents race to your ire
Politics an cowardly escape
Peace with frenzy
Warm your heart
Cold love your magic
Birth to start
Perhaps

I should have taken out the line on politics.
It was a slip and it does screw up the whole poem.
