Dance with fire

October 2007

Scattered clothing
stolen kisses
bodies churning
love is missing

Empty passion
fraudulent words
lying actions
unquenching thirst

Vows are broken
trust is shattered
souls imprisoned
hearts are battered

Betrayal tells
a lack of grace
resistance quelled;
a change of pace

Diseases, hurts
self-doubts and pain
can love ever
be whole again?

Feared leaks of truth
clamp down the tongue
a bloom of youth
fades from the sun

Smoke fogs the mind
eyes start to burn
escape desired
nowhere to turn

Wounds are branded
atop the pyre
stealing someone:
a dance with fire.
