Lilacs and Fire
by George Morgan

Wrapped up yet transparent
In nylon and lace
With ebony strands falling
Down round her face

She rushes to met me
With arm-stretched desire
Smelling like lilacs
And feeling like fire

Her eyes saying love words
She’s too shy to speak
Her lips painting pictures
Of red on my cheek

I’m driven by passion
That keeps mounting higher
I drown in the lilacs
And burn in the fire

CHORUS
Lilacs and fire,
Lilacs and fire
She’s all I desire
And she’s like lilacs and fire

Her fingers trace memories
On the back of my mind
And cradled in soft arms
I travel through time

Back to the moment
Our love was inspired
On a blanket of lilacs
By a flickering fire

The seasons have passed us
Like smoke in the wind
But each night I’m reminded
Of when love began

For her love never falters
Her love never tires
She still smells like lilacs
And still feels like fire
