My Sky Burns

my sky burns
I smell the acrid smoke
taste the ash on my lips
a thirst unquenched
my skin hot from the heat
my soul singed
my heart incinerates

By the looks of the exceptional poems I am reading it looks like you all have new ink pens. I wish you all a wonderful weekend filled with love and inspiration. Love, Carol
