The Fire Of Dust

By phantoms in a mind enraged
A single glow ignites its clime
Burning blaze upon a stage
Recited in a flow of time.

Damn the fire that grazes hell
And damn the feeling of insane
Damn the sulfur and its smell.
And damn the acids of the pain.

Culminating in one bright
Dooming moon to utter gloom
Scorching all within its sight.
Leaving spume instead to bloom.

Damping sun behind the clouds
Sewing webs of dreary dark
Placing veils of seven shrouds
Setting stone, to set a mark.

It is a stone, a bust of dree
Top the cinders of former we.

My goodness Stinky...
does Randy have heart burn *L*
this is intense and powerful
vivid and stark like lightning strikes
and yet another piece to showcase your immense gift for inner rhyme and cadence
as well as turn of phrase and imagery.
very cool write Sy-babes, but ya just gotta keep Randy out of the chips and beer

Like the doors of heaven will swing wide open if we just find the right words to say.
