Burn


                   *Smoking is not good for you, but then, you already know that.




    


      my modern-day Prometheus
       brings me love
      instead of fire; 
      he forgets to tell me
      it burns the same way.
   

    - Jason

                          


     
          Sweetest heat
          Of silken flame
          Inviting the young
          And the foolhardy
          To leave all else and come taste 
          With promises 
          Of forever.
          Love will keep you warm. 
          For only so long
          Before.

  1. Both of these are so lovely. And you chose a great picture to go with it.
    @Nik: I love how powerful the single word "before" is at the end. See, less is more. I wish I knew how to do it :(
    @Jason: Wonderful use of Prometheus!
    Thank you both for sharing.

  3. You said sparks when I heard warmth
    You said flames when I heard light

    We came to close…

    A little soot on your sleeve
    A few scars on my chest…

    We came too close...

  4. Hey, here's a word if you both can try it. 'Anonymous'! Since you guys have had so many of those, the concept of it might interest you to delve into.

    And btw very beautiful work on this both of you.
    Jason, your nailing it was exceptional this time..
