It'll burn out your eyes
A million souls looking up in wonder
Melted eyes from their sockets
Running, black, down their cheeks
Jaws slack, and teeth falling
From their mouths

Blood, black, running out
From ears, noses, mouths and
Eyes, like horrid mascara
Distorted make up in a horror
But all they see is awe
After the winds that came

Blown fire, a storm where
The very gusts, not gentle
Nothing like a summer breeze
But something that scores
Hair, skin and lips from the bones
Peeling dripping faces back

And yet, they stare,
From eyes which no longer see
Screaming from mouths
That don't make a sound
A chorus of discord
In a firestorm

An artificial sun
Lit on a planet of life
Bringing death
Upon wings of fire
Like a blackened angel
Loosed on an unsuspecting world

Mushrooming up, billowing
Catching and pushing through
An atmospheric nightmare
Ripping the very last air
From the lungs of their children
Spreading out, blocking the sun

Apocalyptic in nature
But no prophet could predict
Their Gods all deserted now
Figments of imagination
For a world that has forgotten
All, for a single glance

Such is the danger wrought
After the fires burn out
The seas boiled away
Leaving beaches of bones
Cracked Earth, continents split
Rivers now, flowing lava home

It's the burden of nature
A beauty of the universe
When stars and orbits
Push and pull, gravity
Of bodies, beyond control
Black holes, spin, blink up

In a moment, it's gone
A whole world, no warning told
The price that is paid, worth
But, be careful, Love
This is your smile's price
I'd give the world for
