Fires of the Heart - By: Valérien Taylor
Sunshine on the face, wind rustling my hair and gentle laughter shared. Nectar poured to my lips Promises we kept watch them break I said: - be safe! You ran away Left me here (loved me here) and ran to save Old Mother So now I weep, from my umbrous Throne; holding you to the sky. Draped in gold, then stained in crimson. I usher you back home.

I want to stay here Lost and flowing with the calm waves. I don’t care if I die, as its a golden feel, That I can forget everything fo
