Burning Bright....Like a Fire in the Night

[changeling67]

I could start a fire
Inside this belly, burning bright
All my veins light up like wires
Lambent skin cuts through the night
While the stars dim behind me

A luminescent choir
Holds court inside my lungs
Your love my burning pyre
Your lust my mother tongue

Now I'm burning brighter
And something in the darkness starts to shine…

Burning brighter, burning bright
Like a fire in the night
Burning brighter, burning bright
Finding friends inside the light

Something has surrendered
Something's been set free
I could start a fire
Dancing, flaming, burning wild
With phosphorous desires

Now I'm burning brighter
And something in the darkness starts to shine…

Burning brighter, burning bright
Like a fire in the night
Burning brighter, burning bright
Finding friends inside the light

boisterous, sounds like boiling water.. no idea what i would replace it with, maybe relentless or (a stretch) oceanous?
but i like the rest and i love the story it weaves, including cast-a-nets.. ships wreckless and trackless (sic mine). i thoroughly enjoyed it. thanks

it is interesting when i read a poem, i hear other words in place of the ones offered, and i am perplexed, to me that is a second level meaning by onomatopoeia or resonant rhyme in me. nevertheless, thanks for that poem!
