Amber

Stabbing open
ancient mysteries
darting flames of
golden eyes
sending angels
blushing silently
in the corner
and if you look
into the embers
that pulse amid the ashes
you can witness
your very soul
forming in the
rise of
billowing smoke
He smiles head tilted
weapons brandishing
over dimpled cheeks
cosmic glitter manifestations
death and resurrection
within seconds glance.
