FLAME
fire
RED
The road ahead is wet and slippery.
I follow the red, blinking lights.
My eyelids hang heavy.
My yawns grow wider.
The lights blur together
forming a raging fire.
It fills my windshield.
I sit forward in the red halo.
I must stay awake.
RETREAT

Beautiful
RETREAT
A place for our dreams,
An earthly retreat.
Follow my heart’s beat.
Can you feel the heat?
The earth is alive.
Its core is on fire.
Come with me, darling.
I feel your desire.
It’s all too soon gone.
The door is closing.
It’s being washed out
By the sea’s hosing.
Don’t run from the truth.
Please come back to me.
You can’t turn away.
I know you love me.
TOUCH ME

I need to touch you.
Feel your softness.
I’ve been alone too long.
Without a human’s touch.
A human’s warmth.
I’m cold.
But a fire burns in me.
Come to me.
Touch me.

GONE TOO SOON
Source:boy-so-pale
It lights up quick.
It burns out fast.
I’m left in its wake
with the burnt ashes
of my aching heart.
THE NEWS
Source:hipster-and-thoughts
The news can be deadly.
It can be lethal.
Dangerous to your health.
A fire never quenched.
FIRES OF HELL
FIRES OF HELL
A hot sight to see.
Now part of the sea.
Gone the lush paradise
By a toss of the dice.
