Magnolia's Flame
In the stillness, summer is thick with sweat
Its sweet salt drips on parted lip's desire
The scented Magnolia's silhouette
Inspires ember strewn hearts that's set on fire
Beneath we lay so closely wrapped in love
Under flowers hung soft in pale moonlight
So luscious and green the leaves talk above
Soft dreamy whispers in streams of starlight
You've taken my heart, my being, my core
A Soul-Eater, your rapture consumes me
Born in this blanket of estrus I pour
To empty my essence fearlessly free
Under the Magnolia's perfumed pale
We loved to be loved, our hearts to unveil
