Don't Play With Fire


Drowning in desire
Opulence born and bred
Night welcomes clandestine meeting
Traverse to wickedness

Power of lust
Levitates rational thought
Anguish plays the role of executioner
Yesterday’s ashes mingle with misery

Wicked proclivities wets the appetite
Invites sin to lie in bed
Throes of covetousness ignites flame
Hell holds the door open to welcome

Fighting against primal urges
Inclinations driven by want
Repentances smolders
Embers are all that remains
Don’t play with fire…you’ll get burned
