Elements of us

Golden profile,

sunset mirage

I see you after days

and

nights awake wondering

tailing behind,

infinite,

the same circle starting over again

so worn,

but so mezmerized,

entranced

euphoric illusion,

taking my life

my breath

with every passing day

The moon waxes,

the moon wanes,

and I wonder

is it just a phase?

up to my neck

this tide rising

then low

Impossible

conjoining elements,

water and fire

the void and the flame,

the whirlpool and the vortex

still...

I'm left here hung to dry

wet and cold

while you continue to burn to a cinder

If I extinguish you fear

in exchange, rekindle this heart

and the smokescreen between us

will clear.
