the wildfire

after burning in love and passion for days and nights on end i let wildfire of love rush my mind and my senses. i let myself be consumed with hope and renewal. there was such sweetness and sincerity in your eyes and your lips, i caught you several times drifting off peacefully to sleep. i was wrapped in your arms, secure and softly lying to myself. when you are here i can forget about all the other things that bother me and entangle me. but with you im waiting for loss to come true. giant storms boil on the horizon and i am blowing the wind to keep them away. the kite of my mind knows whats coming and the string is getting longer and i watch you drift farther away. by seduction i try to keep the threads tight and i grip with all my strength the sheets that cast my sails, illusions paint the waters of my emotions as i slip away into another night alone, under the stars that have housed my unmet dreams.
