Embers

June 2, 2006

Burning embers
Hot on my throat
Longing for breath
Molten anger suppress

Stoking the fire
Smile at the thought
Beautiful ire
Laugh at the hope

Deep, wicked oil
Melting my skin
Chilling the heart
Inferno within

Cracks in the place
Time and space meet
Canyon of hell
Dive in, retreat

No one on earth
Feels like I do
In the abyss
Dying with you

Fear, pull me close
Anger, overtake
Hatred, imbibe me
All love, forsake

Is this what it feels like?
When from love, we rebel?
Swallow another...
Embers of hell
