Until the fire broke out for a lesser god in its dire infancy
Surfaced, it continued to glow and grow
Implacable, innate
As flames consumed the formless, desperately
A promise of closure never uttered
But merely scoured, above and beneath
Once nothing and ever since the loss
Though, was some or none of this supposed to be
Was it the rust, could it have been the plague
To leave those left in disarray
But in truth, nothing ever means everything
And often suddenly, life has a new meaning
Perhaps tethered to my teeth is a sullen thread
That comes apart at the seams
And yet remains unhinged
For those moments, I mean more than I can dish out
Or more than this dreaded life means to me
And steadily, a lust for the unknown stays true and still
The hands of time expanding the universe for you and me
As the howling end becomes the forbidden hour forever
And just as eternally, I am drawn to your parallel
With unscathed affection and all else forsaken
As clouds gesture to the boundless sea
Under the aegis of a faceless, crimson sky
Ever burning, ever turning, awaiting to plunge forth
To seize the night, down comes the rain
