Love Poem: Ashes of Sound

Ashes of Sound

Ash
It falls
And lay still 
Burning city
But it’s still my home 
Smoke clouds inhabit skies 
And skyscrapers crumble down
We watch from the cliffside and mourn 
A disaster soundtrack lacking sound 

We only hear the ashes falling 
Everything we loved, now debris 
The sun charred over with greed 
Memories in piles 
The darkness warns me
Suffocation 
We lay still 
And breathe
Dross
