Burning desire

I could hear the embers

Far away from sleep

Feel the burn

Growing ever deep

Could grasp the flames

That danced without me

Could fan the fires

That raged around me

The chaos stormed

The ash fell silent

But still

I could not quell its violence

The quick consumption

A warm embrace

The waning light

A sign of fate

The anger burned and blew and faltered

Until just smoke remained

An alter

It's there I lay my last desires

To burn anew

Upon old pires

Remade, ignited, and fueled by heart

Until again tht crackle starts
