The Fire Rages On
The moon is peeking o'er the blushing reach
Hung low to splash the skies with Milky Way
Each beam it softly weaves upon this beach
Finds me deep in the throes of love's decay
I never knew how hot your embers burned
Red glowing as our epic stars were crossed
Each flame igniting as our passion churned
Realizing, not, until those dreams were lost
Above me now, soar vaults of twilight blue
Glib witness to these lonely dunes that bind
Each tender moment here I spent with you
Set fresh ablaze as love and limbs entwined
Oh, never will these ghosts of you be gone
Not while the fire called "You" still rages on.
