No Way Back
She spits her fire and he tosses his gasoline;
If he lights a match; she inhales smoke;
The damage can be seen everywhere;
And combustion will soon accelerate.
In a visionary dream; a message has appeared;
And from the eye of the Gul;
the question is asked;
"Do you remember"
Protruding from the surface of the water;
On a single scorched pillar;
A Falcon stands his guard;
Much like the Gargoyle;guarding the dead.
And the writer writes an epitaph;
Of a life he once called home;
And the rider waits to board the train;
To places not yet known.
As all the bridges smolder;
Even still the fire attacks;
So they turn to go their separate ways;
And there is no turning back.
