Jan 2012
hot cheeks burning
tears salty and sweet
run like wildfires
burning off the undergrowth
chasing woodland creatures
down to the streams
someday, we won't remember this

passion drained us so sweet
clear the pathways
ravage all the fields
burn down the bridges
pull down all the monuments
someday, we won't remember this

souls entwined as lovers
brought down to her knees
drained of all blood
stripped of dignities
laid bare to each
but never felt so free

i don't care what's right or wrong,
i won't try to understand.
let the devil take tomorrow
lord tonight I need a friend


light the match,
stoke the heat
feel the burning
(no one here will get out of this alive)
and, someday, we won't remember this...
