At the first meeting of a boy and a girl, the slumbering embers had been awoken With words and glances, dancing light burst forth As time passed, sparks ignited and the flickering flame grew It fed on youth and the new Soon sorrows and grief were thrown to the heart But nothing could quench their hunger and thirst It was a forceful blaze and the crowds watched in awe at the waves and the haze Passion consumed the two beings with growing intensity The inferno cast out a howling roar, with the duo of hearts desperate for more Each moment they were parted, the sensations were sorely missed In their minds eye they were still embraced in a kiss It was the marriage of peace and the striking power of the storm They were stirred by restlessness as their minds were bent with longing As this love of fire matured in its age, it feasted on the beauty surrounding The letters of the great poets, The words of the countless tomes, The sound of stunning chords, The eye alluring views of artistry, And the words from the Giver of Life Nothing escaped consumption But soon, they were tired of the old ways The beauty of the world was not enough to feed the furnace They left the face of the earth in search of new waters, and left the air far behind The love fire danced among celestial bodies, and spaces of dreams And so it does evermore, awaiting new creation

Once I was hopeful, now I become nothing I cannot speak, my shallow breath stutters, what is this I'm seeing? This is keeping the darkness in the sky for what seems an eternity My body is dry, my tears have all been shed for thee This broken song bleeds through the cracks of my heart My life is flowing away, for you were the precious object of my art What once was filled with wholesome light Now becomes the twilit landscape, No moon, no stars in the night This rejection has destroyed my vibrancy, you shut me down You've left me in the deep waters, not bothering to even watch me drown You were once chosen, lifted high above the rest And until the last crack of dawn I have done my best I pleaded with you to become the sun again I once saw the angel of light, now this Beast grins in the night He laughs at me, my inward humiliation I am within the power of That snake of perdition I have failed you, my heart spills out liquid shame with every beat I sink into the pit where no light enters from above My muscles weaken, my thoughts darken The air becomes a thick cloak of death When I think of the end you see for yourself, my heart is covered in agony You were once mine, but no more I long for the day you would be so again; To be my joyful song again But I see no such day ahead For you, this day I am aggrieved

Melody of a Broken Heart
My tender spring Rose, I see you gently breathe in the soft darknes My fingers and my hand delicately glide across your skin,and I feel your every  stirring at my whim You are always dancing, always changing, always filled with flair Even when you are calm and still, I feel your presence rousing the very air You are a flowing melody to my ears, a soothing glow to my eye, You are the fragrance that I draw in, and then give back with my sigh Yet you were the very first breath I drew You fill me up with vigor, though become weak for you Your beauty is heart-breaking, how could any man stand to not be one with you? Passionate desire fills me to leap into your essence, to melt into your soul I yearn to be able to say for just one shining second that I am not just with you, but I am your whole I long to give myself to you, and my whole energy in the night To be one with your beauty, one with your light, I would offer all selfishness in sacrifice This lion’s mane trembles with impatience to fall into your essence Like lightning endlessly falling into love with the sea, from the heavens I thirst for the exploding dive, charging through the life flowing through your veins Down into your depths to retrieve that pearl that is the key to your existence Finally reaching the destination and resistance that my soul was searching for in desperation I desire to hold it within me that short moment of triumph, your precious fire in blessed consummation You would be finally mine in totality, and I yours, my wild shimmering flower And the thought gives me excellent peace, calming my restless heart Though I am saddened, for I don’t know If it will ever be My love, I hope and I dream that you are made for me
