A Flame Which Burned, Never

I

Back against the crying stone

Sat a man, with his lonesome alone

Not a light, nor a life

Eyes that no longer fluttered.


There he was, trapped

All of eternity, weeping for

Not a soul in sight to see his misery

Just doing unjust.


And he reached, towards the fire

Still a wall, no difference

But it sweltered, it changed

Or did it not, he no longer knew.

II

There once was a flame, of color

It scorched and blossomed and grew

Then doused with ruin it was

Raining, hard.


Still he needed to be strong!

Show them that he's their judge

Unreachable, untouchable

So much distance.


He painted a face of glee

Show enemies of his triumph

In the end, his blood flowed red

In the end, his tears fell quietly.

III

He sought a return of trajectory

But to them, he did all wrong

So that flame burned all the way through

A match without an end.
