I light a match to start the show
I watch the flames ebb and flow
I see the fire flicker and dance
I notice the ash and wind are a romance

The smoke is dispersing no need for alarms
The dust is allowed to glide in its arms
The air picks up the remains as it must
The drop zone being at the sunset at love lust

As it's in the sky burning to fight
As it knows the dark has to consume the light
It wanders far and wonders why
It then realizes that its fate is to die.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

So no, I was wrong. There's a few more, amazing poems that I ahve not read and commented yet. All I can say is that your poem and you are amazing. I've pretty much, almost ran out of comments in reading your amazing work. You have so much talent. Thank you for sharing this.
