Ashes Anyway

By
Fire!
Do I feed it or stamp it out?
Fire!
You struck that damn match
when you walked out!

The choice remains:
Do I step out from the flames?
Or do I pull you in here with me
to dance on in the blaze?

By the time,
by the time the story's told
we'll be ashes anyway!
Forgiveness may set you free
but revenge is so sweet.

Fire,
burning up my heart and mind!
Fire
steals your heart
and then it robs you blind!

Fiery tongues
lick my wounds and stir my pain,
But blood and tears
can't hold a candle to this rage!

By the time,
by the time the story's told
we'll be ashes anyway!
Forgiveness may set you free
but revenge is so sweet.

By the time,
by the time the story's told
we'll be ashes anyway!
Forgiveness may set you free
but revenge is so sweet.

Ostrich

By
Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

thirsty darkness

By
She  stood aloof nothing stood in the way of her purpose. buffeted by the cool winter breeze, nothing stood but She had watched others fall to the whirr or tumble into thirsty darkness but she refused to let the world assign her pain. Her pain was her own. She stands calmly, patiently awaiting tomorrow. will it bring an end or another beginning? what use in new predictions? tomorrow we chase the yesterdays we did not catch today.  (again.) She will herald the end to nothingness by giving in to it and tumbling into thirsty darkness as winter blows itself away ...Prompted by the 100 Word Song writing challenge at  My Blog Can Beat up Your Blog .  T his week's track: Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down".
