You lit a fire One night Walked away Let it blaze Forgot to turn around To put out the flames So it rages All this time Should I not have Fuelled its rise? Smoke signals Over horizon Miles and years From where you left They say it's better Clear the weeds Let seeds burst Another year
Strongest of morning Nestled in pure silence Gravitas draws down Most poignant moment Into my coffee cup I dwell Steamy thoughts fill My nose, eyes, throat Ravenous groan Deep in cavernous want Mind lifts up Sun reddening stoic Organ pipes above A herald echoes In conscious moment Pulling me to wake From cosy slumber Of longing
