Already lost

[Deleted]

Feelings of hope turn red like the sun
Is it a burning desire, a fight to be won
Like heat in the fire, my passion is strong
Like wooden trees burning bright in the sun

Or is it instead that my guess is all wrong
My desire does not burn as bright like the sun
My feelings of hope turn black like the ash,
a billowing cloud of happiness past

The red that you see when you look in the sky
Is it anger or sadness that drives it to fly?
Is the heat of its passion too singing to bear,
or is it so weak that it hasn't a care?

I cannot stand the heat of the sun
The burning it brings and it's not even done
I dare not survive the glare of a star
Oh, how it shimmers from miles afar

Blindingly seethes through inches of glass
Festers and stings through metal and brass
Oh, how it shines like angels from afar
I could not survive the heat of a star.

And yet, it is coming, from miles away
The heat of my passion, plants wither away
The thing that gave me life itself,
now takes in turn my sense of self.

So is it now the red of fire,
the aching burn of longing desire,
Or is it now the aches and pains
Of too many years spent without rain?

I wish the sun could go away,
but it seems the heat is here to stay.

Is it too late to pay the cost?
Or is what we love already lost?

Poignant, divine and fiery verses.
Parching, aching read.

Now, I need to drink
a glass of water. Nah.
Milk and choco'chip cookies!
Off to forage in the kitchen.

have you had dreams
the ones unlike the most
at the steps of the universe
at the grand stairway that no one can buy
like a pure child asking eternity
who do you love the most
and the answer was the oddest of all
that there is no you or me
or even kids in the hall
and the colors of the rainbow
that they may matter all
the colors of red
can only come from the fall
maybe Icarus,
and then there was room on the shelf
and dressed in green
can smile for yourself
