Sky Fire

Sky fire
Funeral pyre
For a night best forgot

Burning flame
Erasing blame
What we had we now have not

Guilt trial
Accusations vile
Can we ever come back from this

Tears shed
Empty bed
No more now wedded bliss

Anger's retort
Without thought
Serves only to make it worse

Sharp word
Seldom heard
Hits ears like shaman's curse

Bitter tears
Discarded years
What we had we now have not

Sofa sojourn
No return
From a night best forgot
