'til it Dies

Nothing is too far between a string of red ribbon.

Take good care of this heart's candle

Treasure lived in my chest for years

Unwrapped flesh only for your sight

Winter gloves knitted for your hands

Millions of stars dazzle

Yet paint grave galaxies

That lingers in our midst

Moon swims in our salty rivers

Savage sun sculpted our jagged lips

Ferocious winds rob all our toils

Wails echo over unrest waves

I'm rowing the boat swift

Toss the wick in your flame

Gleam the shore 'til it dies
