Christine Kerr - FIRE

Crackling fire, floating in the air,
Pitch fork flames poke you everywhere.
Stand to close, you will feel the heat within,
You know by its power, it has a creation of sin.

The eyes of coal have a glow all of their own,
It warns you to be careful of your tone.
Don't ever think of stealing a woman's desire
She may take the time to show you her fire.

Don't ever think that she'll give up and quit.
For she will let out a roar and show you her spit.
The image will hypnotize you, this is a fact.
This is not your time to be laid back.

Grab a stick, let it be your clue
The time has come between the fire and you.
Just remember, if she gets out of hand
A pail of water, says you've taken a stand
