Fighting Amongst Myself

Afraid of the day that has yet to come

From the oddly wondrous minds of some

I stay steady I stay strong

You are the one that is wrong.

For the warmth I felt keeps me facing what is right

I clutch I grip I hold on tight

I will win this never ending fight

To reach the sight beyond the brightest light.

The Fire Empress

I danced the dance with the dancing flame

Her beauty her essence that which could not be tamed

She stole my soul and I'm the one to blame

I glanced through the flames and into her heart

Seeing two faces, one sun bright the other falling apart

Stepping back I saw such a beautiful form of art

Beaming full every day of love and tenderness

She keeps her pain locked away armored in resilience

I've fallen in love with who they call, The Fire Empress.

Goodbye

I spy

to my own demise

not simplified

but reluctantly advised

with no reason nor why

yet puzzled I lie

soaked in blood soon to dry

I try

eagerly to cry

as tears form in these eye's

no screams no shrieks only sighs

of wheezing carbon dioxide

and I see her rise

from my dying side

she kisses me goodbye.

~~Sprung~~

I gaze at your beautiful buds which have sprung

blooming in the glorious sun.

And as quick as the day is done

your change of youth has begun.

Strengthening your sprawling roots

to bare your life's wondrous fruit.

As seasons change I wish you not forget

even in youth we create amazement so best not regret.
