Burn

Burn.... Burn Mother, burn staring at the flames burning higher and higher the crackling sounds the awful smells I watch with disgust as you burn your life was colourful shameful, hurtful yet your beauty is all in every corner of this human tank of black ashes to ashes they say you go whence you came smouldering smoke now burning my eyes or is it a tear I shed as you leave for ever sleep, pondering on ever life, we do not speak. painfully gleeful happiness, gladness you left me, without a trace, no warning I hate you, how could you go, leaving me behind like a stray, burnt mother, start a new after forever is within your grasp, take it, live on in our hearts, don't come back to this empty nest, I have taken on my new wings, desires, adventure love, wish you could see through my eyes, feel with my scorching heart I miss you burning mother, rest now,(burn....) forever loved, missed... dust to the wind, blowing like pixie dust, glittering sparkling, off with you dear burning memories my mother is gone but she still whispers in my soul, I love you my child....

enjoyed the intensity in your poetic lines ... someone leaves ... memory lingers ... a wafting scent ...
