an almost accidental gathering of poets

I am
I am the fire of the morning after
A flame wan and weak, bleakly betrayed
My strength - gone stale
My power - broken
A forgotten spark coughing
In dust-covered ashes

I am the fire of the morning after -
Shivering, chilled

The bleeding fire of the tired sun setting
I blindly hope, yet my struggle has ceased
I gave you my light, my warmth, my shine
You grabbed my gifts
You sucked me cold

I am the fire of the morning after -
Shivering, chilled

I´m the fire of the death-weary dragon
Whose flame is drowned in forget-me-greys
Cruel-cold laughter, as the very last knight
Sheds his rusty armour and a spark hurled turns icy
On his scorn-frosted skin

I am the fire of the morning after -
Shivering, chilled

The hearth-fire fled in a frenzy of fear
Those who fed me for years dispersed
With the winds of despair
The last starving flame flickers feebly
On its deathbed of wintery coals

I am the fire of the morning after
A flame wan and weak, bleakly betrayed
My strength - gone stale
My power - broken
A forgotten spark coughing
In dust-covered ashes

Shivering, chilled
