Lost to the Flame |
Cold 2011, in the chill of the middle of March |
Like a disaster waiting to happen, barely holding its charge |
A blazing flame had ignited, revealing a hint of a grin |
Disguised as a dying ember, beguiling me into a gin |
The ember burns, she hungers for a source of fuel |
Her power grows quickly, she’s hopping like a fool onto the floor |
Then she expands to every wall |
With scorching steps, her dreadful grace consumes it all |
A mournful morning reduced my life to dust |
Counting memories to the last |
Stories, fabrics, papers, pictures, moments caught in a frame |
All I was defined by — All I lost to the flame |
I deserve this rude awakening, for letting down my guard |
To see my home collapsing, a burning house of cards |
A fire I thought that had died, a mistress that dances in awe |
The non-metaphorical bash to the face that is my broken jaw |
I see 30 years swirling down the drain |
Notebooks I’ve written as a child, poems I’ve written as a man |
You stop at nothing, impossible to quench |
So hard to kill you, you sot belligerent wench |
Playtime is over with this blistering deadly dame |
All I was defined by — All is lost to the flame |
As I sit in ashes, my hands are searching to find |
Something I could hold on ot, a little peace of mind |
Nothing lies beneath this blackened veil of cinder |
Losing all I’m defined by through the gap between my fingers |
