Last Ash

And like incense our scent takes to the air.

Ascending before we fall.

Her and I.

We burst into fire.

Our eyes a gaseous mixture. 

Ignited by the touch of skin.

Kindling the many thoughts we keep of each other.

A crackle blown out.

Accented in desire,

Our yearning ignites.

We hold ourselves unselfish,

Keeping warm.

Separate stems bonded as one. 

Our inner voice visible. 

Bypassing worry, our doubt.

A piece of us both, dissipating in a slow burning.

To give more than we've taken in unspoken communication.

We fell in ash.

Our scent a prayer sent to heaven. 

To always remain this way. 

Even after our extinguishing.

May we linger.

Forever more.

Falling fast asleep in each other's arms.

Leading each other to a place we call love.

Until the last ash drops
