Fire Fly

Sadia Rauf October 11, 2006

Tags:

Take me higher
Shove me lower
Lift me to the skies
Drop me into what lies
Underneath.

Snatched from the hands of what was
Flung into the swirling depths of what will be
Mercilessly, endlessly, ruthlessly
You consume.

Trip me on wires
Slay all the liars
Raise me above
Save me when push
comes to shove.
Rescue.

Tangled in your soul
Suffocating in your breath
When life becomes death
And you are the only that makes me whole.
Complete.

Craving is inconsequential
In the face of this obsession torrential
Mindlessness sweeps away coherence
As a gnawing need swallows patience.
Desire.

Wrecking the semblance
You are it, not an uncanny resemblance
I am consumed infinitesimally
Taken irreparably.
Incinerated
In your flames.
