Flame Blackened Pages Notebooks scattered from freezer to pocket to drawer Distracted by life - drink and opportunities Disappointed, he turned to music later in his life His main love was writing and words Writing was his only solace; his truest purpose He felt he neglected things - relationships, fatherhood, finances, health As he was always striving.... "I came so far for beauty, I left so much behind." His books are his offerings. His music, at first, a way to attract others to his words A distraction for sure A life dedicated to the thing that most defined him - words. Themes and words that repeated through his work -- Frozen, broken, naked, fire and flame. It was in those fires and flames we saw Creation and destruction Heat and light Desire and consummation He lit those flames and tended them diligently He studied and recorded their consequences He was stimulated by their danger For him - "the excitement of thought that was the flame." If "you want darker, you kill the flame." But his blackened pages of writing Were the evidence of his burning soul With his passing, the world is darker now But the flame was not killed His words live on in his poetry Shared with the world A bounty that reaches across time And burns with a passion that is exquisitely translucent yet darkly funny. word count = 224 words.
