Charmingly beautiful sun, golden sunflower
\nturning to watch the flaming dance of the fire gypsy.
\nThe audience forgets your destructive danger
\nthey accede and mirror your beauty as you break loose
\nspreading and spreading wildly your chaotic order.<\/p>\n

Cloned images are flickering inside, fire gypsies
\nJetty through their disappearing green timbered stages
\nRestless seek a denser stage to linger longer.
\nOnly remain alive moving and procreating,
\nyou gracefully leap and give birth with every footprint.<\/p>\n

Your children eat the flesh of the living womb they
\nare dropped into, leaving a uterus smuttied by their creation.
\nLook but don’t touch these grounded stars
\nso captivating one forgets passage of time
\nmesmerized by the renewing flames overpowering.<\/p>\n

You impulsive self-assertive beauty, are
\nshamed of nothing; You are beautiful and know it.
\nThe power of your light, the power of your heat
\ndestroys all those who dare to touch the white and the red
\nturning to a coal black by the shock of your power.<\/p>\n

Round glowing sun heating, ground flowing fire beating
\nHelian sky weeping glowing wild ember fire-red tears
\nGoddess-flames ghostly pass through one another.
\nIn a heartless dragon dance you decorate the sky
\nwith your destruction of land until your fickle-hearted dance<\/p>\n

changes your direction with only a shift of
\nthe wind you change your mood and give birth in a land that
\nfloats underneath you to touch your white red power
\nRed helian sky, spellbound sunflower asthmatic
\nfrom your gypsy fire dance, breathing your Midas coal flour.<\/p>\n
