Dimming Firelight

A gift of red heat dozing,
The waterfall from my eyes closing,
Images of light disappear,
A passionate grip once dear.

The memories behind me leave,
Their testimony but a tease,
Destined as we once were,
Entwined in a twirling blur.

Honey toned sirens declare,
From tangled weeds full flared,
The songs erased by thirst,
My heart from bosom bursts.

Spoken stories eternal beware,
A library now spilt bare,
In schemes of dreams’ lament,
On hardwoods lay letters unsent.
