dark night sky

when i dream of you

red flame

dances brightly

across my dark night sky

don’t you know

colors never lie

and fill our souls with passion

far beyond

the hollow ring

of a thousand empty words

there was a time my soul fell

into the deepest pit

of scalding bitumen

while flares of celebration

lit up the sky

on that far distant shore

deep inside my being

without knowing

I wept for the absence of you

and the longing for the missing

passion of

red

sick of being dead

I will not give up the quest

and even if this love for you

at times entirely steals my breath

still I will keep opening my soul

deeper and deeper

to this

the undeniable truth I know

you will forever be

the red flame

dancing endlessly

across

my dark

night

sky
