Archer

For you the one in Sacramento...

We had time to spend together

Had a moment to spare

And what words avalanched from your lips

Knifes of insults that slashed at my tinder skin

While I was away

Thoughts of your eyes

Kept my soul alive

My fires burning, I had a bon-fire for you

That would stand the coldest forlorn nights

Until you came on that chilled Christmas Eve with your

Bucket of iced water dousing my flames for you into

Smoldering ash

Which you walked on and treaded your boot marks over my

White carpets

Luckily for me fire- is not all that I am

Archer with the legs of a horse

Sagittarius

My Centaur cast me where ever my stars say

And my stars say its time to leave this place

Where people like you win

Where you take my heart, crushing it like you did

So I don’t want to be here

And I don’t trust myself, knowing the numbers that reach you

Knowing with the brushes of my fingers

Your voice would echo in my ears

With the legs of a horse, he carried me away

Where you stand looking after me with eyes of an

Abandoned child

I toss my memories of you in

The recycle bin

For someone else to find, and trip over

Like I did

I keep my face forward

As we ride away.  

With a Sagittarius Fire.

i have to say i love this- its completely consuming and left my thoughts swimming in the concept
and metaphors envisioned to height- wow- your words really have a way of passion
cutting straight to the heart of the reader- i liked how you used words as being the catalyst
setting the emotions in motion- because it speaks truth about the power of words.
as well= the reader can feel your emotions penned-dipped in eloquent ink- a bleeding heart
