Book of Fire
In the book of fire
&
all that blazes
In the words of praises,
Burning fast
They are hard bright
…it blares white.
This is my desire
But...
What is my fire
What is it that I can acquire?
What do I want to shape and destroy…
I feel my soul bound to this book
This book of fire
I write words of infinite jest and mirth
I feel my being slip past this earth
From ashes to ashes
Were dust gathers in the rooks
My past is a mystery
I have nothing but this book
I have nothing but history
I sit here writing for what...
What is my demise
…if I sit here in the path of
Eternity & write this book of fire!
Is this my only worth
What is my fire
Am I just a ghost on this fleeting earth?
...is that all I can desire?
I am all that remains suspended in the blast,
I turn, I turn to carbon at last.
(book of ash II)
