The ebb and flow
Of life’s ungentle touch
and the sultry stinging
Of loving too much
Fuels the burning of living as such
Marked by fearless passion
And rampant deceit
Of timeless demise
And life’s bittersweet
When worlds crash and burn
Instead of meet
Like life the vase and death the urn
Symphonies of destruction at every turn
I languish in hope but still I burn
