Poems
Apr 2016
Binding Flame
Dust and worn leather bound books
Some older than the ancient tower
In which they were stored
A small fire crackled
Its embers ever threatening the books
Yet never quite reaching them
An old man sat in his chair
Neither awake nor asleep
But somewhere in between
There was an open book on the table
Sitting next to his the wooden chair
The lock on its cover laid open
Whispers in the dark
Swirled about the room
Strange runes illuminated in the book
The whispers grew louder
To a near audible level
Then the fire went out
But in a moment it was rekindled
Replaced by a burning eye
Of cinder and black ash
