Let Me In

His name was FIRE

kindling my soul

whimpering at my heart

Oh, let me in.

I need to carve him

into my very being

deeply etched

engraved

for eternity

Oh, let me in!

His whispers

permeating

the breeze

numb me

vanish in smoke

Oh, let me in!

His embers

consume me

burn me

scorch me

Oh, let me in!

Soot covers me

incinerates me

smolders and flares

until

I am reduced

to ashes

but still

he will not

let me in!
