Bleeding rivers of fire

from cuts deep into a body of stone

Cascading down from the roots of mountains

Scorching the sins of uncountable lives

- and oblivious to the world of promised pain

innocence grows, and buds, and blooms

Feeding from the warmth of sacrificial maidens.

Gnarled and tall, lonely

stands the fire-cherry tree;

alone it lives amongst the lava flows.

No other bears fruit so sweet,

or blossom so divine;

and none shall see nor taste its fruit

til firey rivers wane--

nor taste them then,

for fire flows in this great monarch's veins

when lava cools,

the cherries turn to stone--

and sweetest flower, into rosy quartz.

The World Grumbled

Belching fire, the world rumbled
Rising anger, heaves forward
Elevating towards the sky.
Altering flows, the world grumbled
Tilting upwards, trees shrouded
Heaven watching rivers sigh.
Shuttering, as the world is humbled.
