Yes, I have always dreamed of Fire. For what reason I know not. I simply inhabit a strange affinity towards that which burn and devour. Often I wake in the dead of night- soaked in my own sweat- and the smell of primal destruction, rage and ruin around me, like the beating wings of fireflies. So, the fact that I should fall in love with someone like you seemed almost unavoidable. Like timber and sparks we would surely catch fire when entwined. Although, hearts of wood and fire were not meant to last. For a while we would shine bright and keep the night at bay, but you would consume be, steal my light, and once you were done you would leave my ashes behind - still glowing faintly with the memory of your touch.

Wooden Hearts
I have always dreamed of fire Yet awake I dwell in dust and the more I dream the more it would seem that Fear will light my pyre

This Dream of Fire
Some may call it cliche, but I think I found myself today standing there under the small waterfall and gazing up to watch the individual drops spiraling down towards my face in slow motion, almost as if each one, slowly yet rushed, leaned into kiss my eyelid, my open mouthed smile, my collar bone, without hesitation. They knew exactly where they wanted to fall and land, but they wanted to get the timing right; they wanted the moment to be perfect. And good God, was it. When I reached my hands out, rainbow tinted droplets puddled in my palms, the sun glistened against my pale skin and the water gave me satisfying chills like no other. Vividly colored wings fluttered by my feet and the emerald leafed trees shadowed and protected me and rocks of burgundy and taupe clay cradled me. It wasn't the giggles escaping his mouth each time she slipped in the mud, or the way she danced careless and free beside me that reminded me how great a treasure this life is; pleasantries weren't what I needed. It was the intricate patterns of the silk and spider skeletons. It was the uphill climbing adrenaline. The masterpieces not created by men. It was the sound of the water trickling between nooks and crannies. The elflike mushroom homes, the winding creek paths and bees. The warmth on my shoulders and glare through the trees. It was the symbiosis of all of the living things around me that most don't think to actually consider alive... But how could I not, when they're the only ones making me feel the same way?

A salty kiss on a rosy cheek A fractured heart and a Star Wars geek A dream of fame not enough to hide his deepest desire - a loving bride A dying ego searching for aid to someday forget those eyes of Jade

Eyes of Jade
Brown eyes as big as my heart I wanted you from the very start but I maintained and stayed in my lane but when you spoke I never heard a word you were saying You may have guessed, I'm a mess, obsessed with love & *** I'm a little weird I might need a shrink when I'm around you I never even blink even when my knees grow weak that face of yours is the only help I'll seek.

Rotation
A fevered pulse though sweat moves slow as night falls fast upon our bed breath of steam we float like dream to fill the hollows sink, we swallow the light of gold we seek to follow hear a blue calling under the ache of stars as the moon blooms softly sallow.

How night falls
Listen You escape into the heart of dawn No longer life or a lover's pawn Your ship is set for distant lands Uncharted realms Loving hands Though Storm and Silence rocks your boat you are still alive You are still afloat. And as the wind sets it's tone- you realize you're not alone We sail together, you and I Pay Dusk no matter, WE shall not die for this wooden heart- will still depart **and no festered crack shall **** your Art!** Hand in Hand even the Caspian Sea holds no borders for you and me.

The Caspian
She is Fossilized Fire An Emerald Symphony Dancing on a Diamond pyre In Everlasting symmetry The Brave will try to take her home Those fools of wretched Monochrome But those who Love Will only Admire In Fear of Killing That Glorious Fire

Fossilized Fire
You are sitting by a crystal lake With bright blue eyes shut wide awake Peeling of a broken mind All that sorrow you left behind No more shade No echoed fright Only hope And blinding light.
