I lose My Soul
I place an ice cube on fire
It melted and it extinguished
the fire. Either way I lose my
soul.
Shall I touch you? my hands quiver
Hide tide blood inside my heart, desire
peak and lustrous feeling spread.
I place a candle on fire
It liquified and it turned off the fire
Both ways I lose my mind.
Should I hold you tight? my pulse
beat faster and faster, waves of emotion
rise to the sonnet of my heart.
Yes, I place an ice cube on fire
It melted and it extinguished the fire and either
way I lose my soul.
