eternal flame

eternal flame
by azly rahman

on this night
of a thousand stars
play me that ancient sound of beauty
like that lyre of mesopotamia
as i close my eyes and walk slowly
down the path of the unseen
your voice
as beautiful as the sound of the mystery of yesteryear
unsolved
unresolved
under the burning sky
flame eternal like a dance of the mystical
you are calling my name
like the sirens of homer's odyssey
i shall meet you there
we shall become
that beautiful melody
that eternal flame
