Love, Our Dark Desire
by Gisele T. Siegmund

raging flames of raging fire

only love, my wild desire

awaken bliss, for I grow tired

weary dreams of my burning fire

I bid thee come, so we’ll fly higher

I bid thee come, let us rage in fire

I bid thee come, let our love transpire

let it burn, as we burn in desire

the pit that rages higher

cry out, our burning fire

which rages in our dark desire

all our love that now burns higher

when we come to ignite this fire

only dreams of our dark desire
