Too Hot

by

Ed Hanson

The fire of your love burns me,
Too hot, too hot!
It crackles my skin,
It explodes my veins
It turns my heart to greasy ash
I fall into it, embracing it
Whirling and turning and thrashing about
You hold me closer and
I can no longer escape
As your fire reaches deeply
Penetrating to the deepest, darkest
Caverns of my tortured soul
Where not even I have known to look
It cleanses and purifies me
Like hot silver in the cup.
I am the man who is burned away
I am reborn, remade,
Resurrected after the third try
Alive and on fire, shining
Brightly under your golden sun.
