"Kiss me"

I exclaimed it to the mountain

I shouted at the horizon

Taken by me, the Sun beamed back

Flames upon my cheek, upon her hair

"Kiss me, you're beautiful"

She was eternal

She was mine

I tried to embrace her

Press my heart to her

Press the rhythm of my being to hers

But my arms could not contain the flames

She boiled beyond and echoed into the sky

The clouds themselves grimaced

"Kiss me, I need you"

Her face was carved with a grin

Yet how cold I felt in the void of her eye

How cold it is in her arms

Inhaling deep the sands, they fill my lungs

"Where are you going?"

I exclaimed it to the cosmos

The heavens ignored my request

My desperation fell into the wind

My breath, stolen

My body, scorched

My blood turned to steam

I am one with the flame

And the ash embraces me as I collapse
