Amethyst Torch

Today, I greet you with a wish for a gentle slumber

For we share the same solemn sombered roof

And we wake up with similar reasons, regardless of aloof


We inject moments in empty halls for it to settle without having to wait

Argil-iron it is; shall we be molded, or shall we leave it to rust?

Under this roof, we hold onto tokens of the complex,

As we walk on steaming coal to reach a short-lived bed of roses --

In order to ignite an amethyst torch and deliver to the new


Sooner or later, the halls will crisp and fade;

The pieces of our home would join a gust,

And brush past the several faces of the next

These remnants would rest on tips of their noses

To echo that the amethyst torch will be in their hands too
