a hum in the head of the moon

a word in the wash of the stars

heard well above the din
brightly poured forth

red roaring light
in one last lunge

and done

a part           of yourself
apart            from yourself

dusted away
once upon a shelf
"Do you not understand? Even I fear what I might become given half a chance. Stay too close to fire, and eventually you will burn."

"Then burn I shall. For I'd rather burn from the fire than risk never knowing the fire at all."

some lines from my story I'm writing
I will lose myself
if it means you can have it all.

I will give everything
if it means you will smile again.

I will, I will, I will.
A shelter in your heart I seek,  
to hide from all the miseries and grief.
I will wait for the day
when you reopen your heart for me.
Peaking through the pavement,
a little burst of yellow.
Trampled and squashed
but still there,
still beautiful.
My life was
an open book.
You just forgot
to read a few chapters.

I cannot see
I didn't grab
