Fuego*

I am your fire -
Your prettiest flame
I flicker to life
At the sound of your name

When you walk by me
I dance to your breeze
Faster, then slower
I hope you are pleased

My warmth is needed
But my burns are not
Don't get too close,
Or you'll get too hot

I can be fatal
Or just a slight burn
If you're not careful
You'll never learn

You say that you love me
I am your desire
But can you not see
That you're playing with fire?
