The hours I sp...

Embers of Regret

Flames ignite in the midnight air, born from hands that tremble, unaware.

An erratic wind twists and turns, fueling a fire that silently burns.

Ashamed, I watch the embers glow, secrets lost in the sparks they throw.

The night swallows my whispered plea, as guilt consumes what's left of me....

What we once had

Ablaze in the night sky...

Ignite the ashes,

let them burn unto flames.

Watch the fire creep

into the world,

Like a blush

unto ashamed cheeks.

A flame fast spreading

An inextinguishable fire.

Eraticly covering

The land

consuming all in its path.

A flame unto the trees,

Exploding into meniacial destruction

An end fast approaching

A flame...

Is time my friend or foe?

Your power over me ignites my soul in such a profound way!

You control our emotional state and witness our most vulnerable moments in our lifetime.

You force us to relentlessly and constantly move forward. There is no retracting from you or putting you on a standstill. When we turn our heads to look back, I close my eyes and rely on my mind to reflect through memories in ...

A burning sensation erupts within me. Itching desire within me igniting like the soft spark of a flame. Tethered to the depths of my departing soul. Standing high and mighty electricity deviled deeply in me, just clinging onto the sweet resolve of the edge. For what I’m about to do curls my stomach into a pit. Should I be ashamed? Am I nothing but selfish for yielding to such depravity? Sweat drip...
