BLAZING ALIVE

Let your aches travel to me 
across the stormy seas 
Let your words echo endlessly 
inside my waiting being 
Let your smoldering stories

flow to me in flames 
That burn us down to ashes 
then build us up again 

Those embers that we carry 
in the crevasses of our night 
Ignite our dreams in swirling smoke 
till our heated souls do rise 
We'll tango with the falling stars 
in a violent symphony
And write in white hot liquid ink 
our glowing destiny
