Pompeii


I feel the breaths of night.
Take me in your cold winds
Like a carpet that flies,
And bring me back amidst
The world of the ancient
When the moon is crescent.

Blazing lights that send warmth
To homes within stone walls
Of warriors who play darts
Of a king in his hall.
The early families
Of the young earth and mist.

I hear it, the loud boom!
Red flames fall from the sky;
Tonight, the gods sent doom.
Farewell, lover and lyre,
For these burns may freeze you,
But tell your story through.
