The Burning

The Burning

Risky business
An affair
A sultry secret
Between the young
And the urban
The beautiful losers
Disguised like dragons
Dancing under the moon
In reality ghosts
Betrayal
A remembered love
Devastated
Utopia lost
Fears realized
A deadly wave of ruin
Steal the night fallen sky away
Profound darkness into light
Recapture peace of mind
Saved from the past
Like a phoenix
From the ruin
A second life
