A Memory

Sky flaming mountainside

They say it’s just like love

Chilly kiss from a lover’s lips

Still cold from her icy drink.

Swaddling the little ones in towels

Stomping from the muck of the lake

Although the sun decides to set

All of the warmth yet still remains.

Radiance of a red star

Alongside, you and I

Bright enough for two sunsets

The embers climb, descend, stay

And sweetly, burn

Melt

You into me.
