burning.

the searing face of someone on the edge of life. a burning passion. one after another. they travel inwards, into the depths of what only the heart can manage to capture. to captivate the beauty of what's on the inside. to gaze at the strength you hold. to breathe in the taste of something new. something deep. something that beckons me forward. i taste passion. bitter and worn out. cold and restless. stepping forward into the unknown. stepping forward into life. life. looking back? no. life. new adventures that wait for me. opening a door to a crisp morning. awaiting a day of fresh revelation. sipping time spent with lovers. watching. in flight. the burning sensation of what is to come. new passion. riding in on the wings of a sunset. too far off in the distance to taste. close enough to know it's there. it's watching. it beckons me to come near. to follow it on towards the racing of my heart. its beats fast. it beats slow. flags turning the air. the wind in my hair. coffee breath. smoke on a new lawn. freshly awoken to the day. dew. when i awake, all i see is you.
