one takes to the spark much easier

and is engulfed in heat immediately

whereas the second log is still wet from the nights of weeping skies

the burning passion of the first’s is overbearing

and the second log smokes producing concerning steam

but soon sizzles

and finds the fire spreading overwhelmingly fast

and is soon fully engulfed in a naturally intense love that we all hope never burns out

but we all know

with someone so susceptible to destruction

ash is inevitable

galaxies filled with voided space

and yet

you were the only thing that shined brighter than the any star I saw in the sky

a super nova of some sort

I was blinded but your luminous danger

and I forgot how close you were to an explosion

but now

I guess you are just another deceased star in my galaxy of complexity and space

a mirage of life

colors of the sunset flow

on the trees rooted

plunged in the piles

i’m deep into this new life

college welcomes me

roots have dug elsewhere

it is time to grow stronger

this soil is so warm

I long to twist open the cap

and indulge into the heat

it wants to reach out and warm my tongue

it smells so sweet, but I know once I take a small taste it will linger

since you left, my tongue has felt no spice

I have felt no warmth

but the memory remains

your taste makes me want to pour this entire canister onto my eager tongue

I tasted you third degree

and have never wanted to heal my wounds

I would sift through the ashes of us just to taste another ember
