Ocherous flame dances the same Flicker and untamed, gentle crackles, call a name Myrrh scented candles illuminate the room One last time always seems to soon Auburn hair burned wildly here Memories of a yesteryear When they all finally burn out So too will my heart melt like the wax […]
A nervous mess In the wake of what is To finally meet you Feet growing cold Runaway with my heart Not so bold After all, spreading cold fingers apart In my mind I dance with you to warm up For what feels like the finish of a wait Is just […]
