THE NIGHTFIRE

THE NIGHTFIRE

(آتش)

A fragile beauty that for so long you tried to hide

For fear of falling into yet another web of lies

With nothing left to hold on to

What you didn’t know

Is that I had already seen

the myriad of colours within your soul

your unique configuration and callings

your raw humanness

imbued with a burning fire

your unspoken longings

and deepest desires

It made me love you even more

And then there are those days

where I don't even know who you are.

And yet,

we continue to strive

keeping the flame alive

for we now know that the safety net

which was once so full of holes is

piece by piece

being woven back together

you and I will rise

from the Nightfire

Atesh
Persian (آتش) "fire, flames"
