Sweet eyes closed in slumber
I want to watch you sleep
Fly with you in your dreams
Sitting here with you, it’s real
You are so peaceful, quiet, sad.
My heart aches inside
Sinking lower in my chest
Because I know that you are asleep
In the eternal slumber of death
Radiant inside, safe once more.
I sit and watch you sleep
Until at last I lie beside you
And together, far away, we meet.
Burn the sky
This unholy rage
Throwing shackles
Breaking fire
Rising to the air
Igniting all life
Catching raptured fire
Why should it be contained?
Let it burn
Crumble to ashes
While the flame lives on
Destroying everything
Crackling furious rage
Violent raging pushing
Burning wreaking havoc
Yes, cower in fear
My fire rules all
Until at last
There is nothing left
Nothing but coals
Rebellious sparks
Willing to rage on
But spent, so tired.
This fire, too, is destroyed.
