Smoke Signals

She flickers and dances
Reflects the fire on her skin
The light entrances
The shadows welcome me in
I am ember and flame
Heat coursing through my hands
I trace out my name
In a thousand incisions

When the blood runs cool
She engulfs this room
Until the warmth returns
Until the flesh burns
And when her eyes yearn
I close mine

She quickens the senses
Influences each spiraled fate
Til the night is a cancer
That swallows this slate
I am trebled and played
A note on the grave
I carve out this place
At the edge of the blade

When the trigger is pulled
I'll blow you away
Until the blood runs free
Until these chambers are empty
And where her eyes lead
I open mine.
