Ashfall

The flame, it dances, wild and untamed,

A primal roar, consuming all it finds,

In its bright embrace, nothing is unclaimed.

*

Trees, once towering, bow to fire’s claim,

The crackling limbs collapse, their safety binds,

The flame, it dances, wild and untamed.

*

Brush of dusk, the world becomes inflamed,

With sparks flying free like broken minds,

In its bright embrace, nothing is unclaimed.

*

Memories melt, their moments wrongly framed,

Steel and wood surrender, none are unshamed,

The flame, it dances, wild and untamed.

*

In chaos, each foundation slowly waned,

As night descends, the final heat proclaimed,

In its bright embrace, nothing is unclaimed.

*

A world unmade, lost love’s cruel designs,

Only ash remains where dreams once flamed,

The flame, it dances, wild and untamed,

In its bright embrace, nothing is unclaimed.
