An ember
Drops so gently,
On the lip of your shoe.
Perceive the impending pain,
Allured to the blossom of flame.
Evening calms beside you.
Eyes like marble reflect
A fire eating its way
Up to your chest.
Comatose tonight
Are those who cherish
The ordeal of your arrival
At such a lovely culmination.

Drops so gently,
On the lip of your shoe.
Perceive the impending pain,
Allured to the blossom of flame.
Evening calms beside you.
Eyes like marble reflect
A fire eating its way
Up to your chest.
Comatose tonight
Are those who cherish
The ordeal of your arrival
At such a lovely culmination.
