untitled (just for you)

Flames leap around in our eyes,
The fire dries the tears
And sears them closed again.
I burned myself again,
Alive again,
A life again.

Press your lips upon mine
So that we may forget our lack of oxygen;
The tongues of fire swallow the air.
I loved the choking again,
A gasp again,
"Alas" again.

Hold this night inside your sheets
And whisper goodnight to me,
But stare at our star caught on you pilow.
Will you sing softly to me again?
You sing again,
Scream again.

Odd pictures sleep together,
Glaring, loving, hating, understanding,
And you see my eyes in your bed.
I loved being blind, acquired ignorance again,
Shut my eyes again,
Closed tight again.

This carries so much meaning.  Always seem to get burnt, but to live again!   I liked this!

Very interesting

The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change.
