All I can see is your beauty. 

Longing for your embrace which I had sworn I would never do. 

I am falling...into you and out of me. I abhor you.

This is mentally exhausting.

 

A thunder rumbled in the cloudy,rainy night. The lightning casts terrifying shadows around every corner. I can't sleep because I am facing you. Sleepless nights bring the darkness closer. This is very heavy and for the first time a nee goes down.

 

The winter has come...for me.

On a wooden bridge under my feet, I'm looking straight at you.

In a horse stance dodging your icy sharpened knives with my ring of fire knowing

that some will make it through.

A thought occurs to me of what it would be like to be pierced by those knives: 

I would transform myself into a being with feathers and fly away or into a being with scales and 

slide into the underworld?

There's no magic left but for the ring of fire!

Standing still I am ready to fight.
