The fire inside swirls overhead.
Engulfing the room I sit in.
I stay still on my bed.
Watching the mirthless orange mix
With the swaying tornado of the dust on
top.
Moving in tune with the songs in my
ears.
In step with the tune my mind plays for
me.
Blank and yet melodiously sonorous.
Enormous like a black hole.
The smallest entity that devours all.
Swirling like a tornado over my head.
Inside my eyes.
My eyes are now red with the burn.
The searing heat that I can feel on my
veins.
As they are flash red on both sides.
The thunderous roars of the water
burning to steam.
Around and inside me.
To give way to death.
The sounds of the last moments I will
ever hear.
Lying with the last of my mirthless
laughter in my face.
My funeral was long-awaited.
The ashes drift away through the open
window.
As the room remains unchanged,
untarnished.
The fire caused no burns.
It caused no fractures to any soul
living.
Only the dead was pained.
Only the dead was lifted off.
My funeral was long-awaited.

The pyre raged,
In a dry desert devoid of futile thirst,
The fire swallowed the remnant drops of hope,
Hell lay quiet in peaceful surrender,
And the dead awoke from the grave.
I see that you seem to be certain that it is your funeral that is going on.
Clad in black/white, people seem to have forgotten the bride in red.
The funeral would be unending.
mark my words, fellow drifter,
for time has ceased to be
flushing the anguish,
and every thought of knowing pain.
this is the penance of a grandeur manner.
This is the divine plan.
I Loved the flow...:)
@Enchanta : Either black reigns, or white does. There is little or no space for what may be in between.
No the bride in red was not forgotten. It is just that she was ill-fated as well and decided to be forsaken.
@Ausdrucklos:
And I would succumb to the end.
Whenever it comes.
Long before it does.
Giving in is a matter of the mind.
@The perfect one : Thank you. :)
But the ash,too, is a part of the colors of the wind :-)
@Antara : Yes. They paint the sky grey. :)
Mixing of black and white.
