Never

I want to be seen but never known,
Held but never touched,
To be fire, but never burn,
Ash but never smoke,
Fog but never mist,
Snow but never sleet,
Sand but never shore,
Love but never more.

Once Upon A Time

There were moments when the world stood still,
When the fires ceased to burn,
When the fog lifted from the waters,
And the ashes drifted from our eyes,
When the skies didn't echo,
With voiceless goodbyes.

Smoke

I trembled with your fears,
I cried your captive tears,
I burned with your desire,
I couldn't escape your fire.
I breathed your smoke filled lungs,
And tyed your twisted tongues,
I laced your ash-choked hair,
And danced inside your stare.
