~ dedicated to Firalyn Tiatra ~
fire, forgive me, my faith is misplaced
truly, your mirror has lied to me
now and again, these treasures erased
yet still so clearly seen, and chased
brother, forgive me, my first love betrayed
i've traded for silver your bright white gold
casting my nets on the other side
my fantasy is bold, untried
friend, won't you give me a handful of tears?
most swallowed in depths too vast for me
some dancing across the quiet clear
but soon as they're touched- all disappear

I know I've said it before, but I'm saying it again: thank you for this.
It's beautiful to see my memory alive through poetry. I wouldn't have dared to try myself (no confidence in what I write :/ ), and that you would... it means a lot.
