Tears of Fire
By midnights voice
I'm
Mixing alcohol
With . . .
my silver tears of fear
While . .
I am
Looking back on all the agony
of my life
Whose
Demise is . . .
now
drawing near . .
I dream of being Phoenix
With
Red plumage and desire
To be
Consumed
By the tears I have set on fire
So
let me pour another drink
And
Rake the coals of life
So I'll be
Setting my tears on fire
while waiting
on new Life

Much more cohesive in my opinion than one or two other works of yours. Much more saddening though.

Adele's "Set fire to the rain" seems to have a similar origin, and many thanks for the historical perspective my friend. (here's a breath mint, and cheers :) - Dan
