A bridge that's burning

A bridge that's burning

I just thought they were fireflies,
But I never really was one for using my eyes,
And over there a bridge is burning,
The one with our footsteps on it.

But don't feel too special,
Because it's only you and only me,
And now they're spreading footsteps on the moon.
I just need you to see,
I'm not going to be here anytime soon.

Smoke rises and ashes fall,
Patients dance as madness dawns.
The tear that lines your eye,
Well, it illuminates the sky.
And I can't see any reason why,
You feel the need to cry.

But you have your reasons
And I'll never know,
Well I stood there waiting,
Waiting for you to show.

But your beauty's a burden,
You just want to climb higher.
But where there's a bridge that's burning,
You want to be the fire...

If only...
I'll stand here and yearn
If only...
I'll watch the bridge that burns

    This is the second poem of yours that I've read and I must say your poems are captivating. The stories you mix into them are breathtaking and you tell them with a very clever vocabulary. The flow was pleasant and truly picked up towards the end, it's the same with the rhyme. Well written, organized and the title was a real eye catcher. Keep up your talent and never look down.

    Peace, Poetry & Power,
