Fire

I need you. Badly.
Need, want and lust
burn
like fire
in my soul.

I stand
on the edge
of a vast divide
my heart yearns
I've waited so long
anticipation is surly
the cruelest mistress
so ready to fall into you
so afraid the spark won't burn
into a fire.


Or the fire
will be all consuming.

The unraveled thread is swept away lost - in the forest behind her. When they come looking she'll be right where she is just watching the clear water stir.

Cassandra

Glorious in her fury, she stands on the edge of the world. Watching. Behind her the ocean roars, in ancient tongues crying- for everything that was lost. Before her the war rages, an unholy symphony crescendoing- though nothing will be gained. Waiting. She has seen all this in dreams. Nightmares, encoded in her soul, embedded in her mind. Her fury is glorious and righteous. The anger of the helpless for the weak. The frustration of the seer no one hears. She looks up and can only wonder why.
