A Thousand Miles of Fire

-A Thousand Miles of Fire-
by
Keaton Foster



Flames breathe
Madness believes
Wilderness of trees
Representing dreams
Burn
Screaming as they die
Replaced by nightmares
Made astoundingly real
A thousand miles of fire
Burning beyond control
Consuming everything
Devoid of sympathy and regret
Nubile creatures stand no chance
With all sincerity, I fight to save them
Like I always have, I fail them
When they need me most of all
Experienced wolves
The apex predators of my mind
Flee, deeper into the recesses
Howling as they go
Promising to return to me in due time
Liars to themselves as well as me
Ancient foliage, cornerstones of my dreams
Once easily manipulated by ideas spread
Quickly are being suffocated
No blessed thoughts or ideals
Can save me this time
Death by flame
Burning away all that I am
Leaving only ashes to be spread
A wicked wind will certainly be next
Into a billion directions
I will be whipped
Never again to be whole
A complete monster of a being
Laid to waste by a spark
Placed to the fuel of my heart
A thousand miles of fire
Burning all that can be
Destruction is king
My true god of nothing
Everything in me stands no chance
Of ever being as one again
Doomed by a spark
And the highly flammable
Nature of my ways…
