Burn

source

All around us the world is burning

I see our reflection in the flames

You bend to kiss the back of my neck

I melt from the warmth of your kiss

The warmth of your kiss brings life back

Burning with passion I rise

from the flames, like a Phoenix

My neck throbs with new blood

With new blood I feed the seed

that brings life back from the ashes

Passion rises as a new sapling stretches

as a Phoenix takes flight

A Phoenix takes flight from the flames

Feeding from the seed of destruction

The ashes lie scattered around our feet

Stretching for miles and miles all around

All around us the world is burning

I see our reflection in the flames

You bend to kiss the back of my neck

We burn on and on.

Anything

Anything for you, baby

You know that, don't ya?

If you want my attention, I'll drop whatever I'm doing

and give you anything you want

You know I'm a sit on the couch and watch SVU kinda girl

but if you want to go out,

I'm up and out the door - just let me put on my shoes, honey

You can take the covers, take the pillows - both of them

I just wanna sleep next to you

You can snore in my ear

and it's better than any Beethoven symphony

If you're feeling affectionate

I'll cuddle with you despite my hot flashes

and your tendency to smell like rancid Fritos

I'll accept your sloppy kisses

like they're gold coins pouring out of a slot machine

You know that I see you kiss other girls

and other boys

It's alright, baby

I know I'm your number one

You'll always be mine too

Anything for you.

Baby Mouse and Soni the Poodle
