#incandescence
To burn in a hot a glowing deep-in within
Embers in ash blows a breath to rise again
A red so gentle in the center-incandescent-
White heat from the inside--wildness bent-
A light you push from the rumbles--ignite-
Rubbing words together in a dead of night
You generate as you create a flame in a fire
It aches then it fades a wisping lonely pyre
Something in us is still alive--it reaches out
That feeling on a battlefield-glory in a rout-
A little too bright to hold flickers, smolders
I passed a deep in a down--love holds hers.

Something happens
when your eyes
catch mine
and I have yet to
figure out if
they truly do
glisten or if
I’ve just been getting
drunk off of your
incandescence
this entire time
and seeing stars.
Fortify me.

These hours & days of loneliness,
Just after a flop love story,
I wanted not.
I desired not,
'Roun' the ticking clock,
Goin' 'lone in the scary nights.
Separation from my will to live,
Knowin' I was just a pastime,
I required not.
I needed love,
Just truthful love,
Not just another infidel.
Soldier of real world,
I fought naught for money,
But for honour and patriotism.
Back home it waited,
I could not fight my lover,
My killer in guise of infidelity.
My mortal remains be taken,
Away from this world,
Into outer space.
