I reach my arms to your blistering warmth,

as yours illuminate my blazing skin.

You plead and beg, “my love, please do come forth”;

an untold tale of woe and holy sin

By your doing, my wings burst into flames;

enwrapping me in agonizing heat.

The scorching wax trailed down, tracing your rays,

The world around, a mirage of deceit.

Just then, I flash a victorious grin, 

as I trail down from heavens up above.

Outstretch my arms, curse to the restless wind;

For I never minded dying for love.

Blessed I be to die in your presence. 

My final wish: to bask in your essence.
