A Distant Fire Burning

Everything aflame
Fire turning us to ash
So you dreamt
So you told me
It's raining today
and there's no place
for us to go
Stay here
Stay here
So we do
I sit next to you
Staring at the sky
through glass
Everything concealed
Everything revealed
Your hands reach
for me Gooseflesh
on my arms
Touch me again
Drive the cold away
Somewhere
a fire is burning
Somewhere
someone dances
beneathe falling ash

What questions must be asked
What answers should be given
How should we move through
this life of ghosts?
This soul is burning
What lit the flame
How long will it burn?

The End of Us

Some relationships end 

with neither a bang

nor whimper,

merely the sound 

of flames extinguished

by wind.
