Fiery Passion
Magic holy burning ardent flame—
Behold the restless fury pouring skies,
To breathe the fearful glory can’t be tamed,
Like nightmares, wild horses song on high.
A haunting song in terror, beauty, life,
Beyond all questions, depth intangible—
To silent screams the whispers echo blithe
In radiant curses blest implacable.
Passionate spirit burst from heavy chains,
Unleashed from shackles: spirits breaking free,
In darker shadows sharp from blazing veins,
To lurkers shrinking back in frightful glee.
Unrestrained the savage demon leer,
Inferno paramount of love and fear.
