Causation

Melting days
Dripping nights
Flame licked kisses
Ardent writes

Lubricious moments
Darkened hues
Eternal life
Poetic muse

Creeping thoughts
Caressing mind
Run ahead
Fall behind

Drifting here
Straying there
Hard to ponder
Quick to prayer

Aspiration
Must succeed
Even if
We have to bleed

Battle life
Enduring pain
Retreating to
The mind we chain

Burning book
Surviving pages
Left to live on
Through the ages

Planted seeds
Will bear your fruit
Good or bad
All taking root
