The Fire Is Out



The fire is out
The room is cold
There are no windows
No light to see
Just what had become of you and me
I search for embers
There is only ash
No water needed
The fire is out

This room is cold
Too cold to stay
I need a way out
I have to leave ~ today
I can not stand to be here any more
The warmth that was once here
Is now no more

No place to rebuild a fire
No windows to bring in some light
It's an empty room
It's an empty life

I leave the room and close the door
It disappears
Another room ~ lost
Another fire ~ gone
Life is about moving forward
Moving on

Another door will open soon
Another fire ~ in another room
There is no looking back
No bad thoughts to have
Just lost memories
How sad

A light will shine
A fire will burn
Life will bloom
Love ~ will find a way.

I had to take a minute and stop to read your new post, because I knew it would be so awesome. AND, I was so right!

A great depiction of the end. (relationships, friendships, even life)

I second Cindy, a perfect depiction of a loss that is close to the heart. Incredibly moving piece.

Oh my, Yes please

Oh my God,  It's been awhile Everywhere you touched Screamed "Yes" for Miles My toes just curled... Oh, you've done that before? for me, that was new. My legs haven't tightened so much Really?  you do have a magic touch. "Um, may we do it again?" Of course, yes please... that was amazing yes, yes I'll squeeze Oh wait, don't let go I think I'm still  ~reacting~  We should make a note  to go there again... Wait, what? You believe once is enough? I think you're wrong! I'd like to dispute...  I think I'd like another No, I know I want another Lets get real close touch me here Oh yes for sure there can you get closer still? O'come on I need you  at least once more Really, You give in? I so enjoy the way you tease. Am I that easy? Oh, you're just enjoying what you've done! Either way What an amazing way to "play" today!

Your soul to keep

I want to float:  with the wind I want to sail  on top of the ocean, glide next to the waves before their  anger is broken. I want to feel: the beat of a warm heart pounding within my chest to a rhythm  that knows no pain. I want to touch: beauty in a kiss tears of joy happiness in love a kind mind a true embrace. I want to hear: lost words never spoken promises that will never be broken. I want to fly: spread unseen wings feel the sun heat each feather warm my blood  lift my soul inhale, breath, jump I'll fly

Life

A fish who longs to be in water A bird who can not wait to fly A snake who wishes to recoil  A mole searching for better ground Sky so lifted to give space Moon afraid to show his shape Hides behind a blanket of night Stars blink to share their light Oceans anger crashes down Beaches lying with the sand Rocks climb to stand tall Wind watches them all fall  Mountain tall enough to roar Let loose his inner being Earth was burned to begin again. Gave life back to the living.
