we are destined
to burn
and that
turns us
to ash
scattered
on graves

dark
amongst stories
of dark worlds.
and fallen angels.
and scars. that never heal.
there are shades
of light. and stars
shining bright.
waiting for you
to come home

harvest
you have spent years
flowering
this weakness
for you
-the petals are wilting

tales
I have heard tales
where the beast
is loved
by the beauty.
and the pain
is taken
by the winds
in the eyes.
and the hard
is made
soft
by the soft.
the way(s) –
we can hope –
we will be saved.

fire
we were always taught
to be careful of the matches.
always asked
not to stand
too close
to the flames.
always kept
so far
and so wary
of the fire.
so
how
were we meant
to be ready.
for worlds
destined
to burn
