Stream of consciousness... I was just jotting things down with the intention of cleaning it up later but I kinda like it this way.

stare into the night
inhale  exhale
feel the warmth inside
cigarette smoke curl drift
flame heat
tame fire
capture sun  
I can hold it
betweeen my fingers
hold on to it like I never could you
love may die
as does the flame
the flame will die, but it will never get away
