Love Poem: Hostage In the Night

Hostage In the Night

Like an explosion of fire 
i shall shatter through the atmosphere
carving my ever burning path 
through the very stars themselves
riding on the milky way 
my heart shall implode 
from the very thought of love 
finding bitter exposure through the tendrils 
reaching out to grapple onto something like ground 
for out in the stars there appears to be nothing, 
nothing that can quench my heart 
of what it most desires 
a feeling of security 
that among the stars is near impossible to find 
except for the company of each shining burning gas 
exploding as my heart so does forth 
unable to truly find the heart 
that is lost among them too 
and matches perfectly to mine

Set ablaze in the wake of this grand betrayal 
my heart is shrouded in stone and ice 
as all joy and light fades 
from my bleeding eyes 
for now i know No fear
and i shall charge forth through the fires of hell 
with the weight of the world at my back
with everything to gain and nothing to loose
for now i know that love which i once thought existed 
was but a lie thrown to my face to take up 
as if i were a starving beast 
scavenging for but one piece of emotion 
that be true as my soul 
so tell me it may be as i look upon the stars 
a wish on my tongue 
pulling up from the consuming fires 
that may take me hostage in the night
