Breathing an Inferno

Page after page fills, a manifestation of the intrusive words Keeping me awake at night, nudging me to finally speak up Ever so gently, their blazing heat embraces my soul, urging me on My fingers caress the sea of flames, breathing an inferno to life

Withering Flame

Embers of hope spark within my heart, Daring to wish for a semblance of change Yet again, my expectations are extinguished As quickly as they came to fruition, A withering flame trying desperately to maintain life

Once a Flame

You spurned the flame, Turning love away

Candles

In the dense darkness of night, Candles stay alight Although their wicks shorten, And their flames dwindle, The candles burn on, Pillars of light To guide the lost

Silver Moths

Little moths gather, Silver wings fluttering by A pyre of embers
