I cry

Hot tears burn through white clouds
Cheeks turn red and melt from the fiery lava
Flames escape exploding eyes at a rate impossible to measure
Midnights echo the screams of lonely nights gone by
The heat too hot for arms to smother the flame
No cover could contain it
Density builds as heart beats fuel to ignite the inferno
The winds yell to proceed with caution
Smoke is coming faster than a raging summer storm
An exhale is stronger than a dragon's breath
Inhales just add to the the pressure

Red Butterfly

Essence of Forgiveness

The bright red flash of the robins breast
Excites the eyes of lonely children at play
Visions of beauty squeal, tap, and sing
Capturing the hearts of bystanders
Those that look on into the noon sky
Shadows of surprise send the invitation
Inviting love to knock on doors awaiting no one
Memories fail those attempting to rethink life to this point
Cardinal's wings sparkle against the sun
Circling bees send the alert of sweetness
All leaving a trace of forgiveness in the scent of the breeze
