Wildfire

 I watched my world went up in flames, like a cane field in a high wind.  It rushed from one end to the next like a fast opening zipper, unleashing flames and heat.  But why did I close my eyes and lean my head back as the heat warmed my cheeks.  The wind from the flames, blew my shirt open and bared my chest. I was in rapture. Euphoric, as my hair caught fire and my cheeks started to melt and pieces started to drip on my chest. Your face was the last thing my human eyes saw as they popped and melted.  You were the last thing I knelt before as I fell to my knees.  You stood there, in all your glory, as my world torched and my body set ablaze. It was supposed to hurt but it didn't.  My memories of kissing you blocked it all out.  My braise sizzled but there was only one thing I could think about.  How did you do this to me.  You took everything about me and burned my whole world down.  You took everything, and I gave it.

As my flesh melted on the ground, my spirit stood up and as the flames surrounded my feet, I looked at you again and saw that you. too were made of stars, this whole time.  You were always in spirit form, but my human eyes couldn't see.  My human life was not the home for us.  It all needed to go, it all needed to be burnt to the ground.  It was my right of passage...to love you....to love you in your truest form.  I have to raise free my spirit and forget everything I learned.  In the middle of this wildfire, we stood.  Bodies made out of stars.  You started to smile at me and reached for my hand.  We touched but with your hand over mind, you couldn't tell them apart.  We were the same, we were made from the same cosmic space, you found me and I recognized you.  Familiar, and home at the same time.  I home I didn't know I missed, but a return at the same time.  This world is not our space anymore.  We live in each other. This is home now. 

Nothing matters anymore, just you, just me.  Our space, our time...us is ours.
