Fire, Lightning and Love

Fire, Lightning and Love

Man of fire and lightning 
What he touches, burns, sulfur
Righteous hard words twisted from his mouth
He smelts chains of steel to shackle and bind my soul
It is his desire to own me, master of my world
Two women, beauty diverse, lovely, both to be bound by chain, owned
Like wives, slaves, from centuries past, his women
One submits to him, her tears, she cries unheard
The other wild and untamed, breaks free 
My soul, he will not enslave
Anger, I throw down the chains that bind
The possession of my heart, my soul
A gallant man, with his heart, his soul, I share
Dark nights I rest, dreaming
Sunlight I rise, searching
I am lured to him, a man, strength, his wisdom, his heart beats free
Not chains of steel which bind, 
But rings of gold entwined into our hearts, forever is eternity
My burning heart, he gently takes, it is love
I am home
