Eric Miller's Art

Feuer und Flammen

Gentle simplicity light my way,

Stroke those warm fibbers in practiced silence,

Notions of Gods and other worlds enrapture my brain,

Cast your spell on me,

Enchant my dreams with a moment’s peace,

Free me of those needless encumbrances,

Find for me a reason that I may still live

Outside world,

You’re not welcome in this place,

My sanity refound,

Lost is in a gesture of warming my cold lungs,

²There is still pleasantness despite what they say,

I cherish it when the flame does go out,

For I am reminded of reality,

And am forced to light that flame again and again,

Who are you to believe in eternity?

All things will be extinguished,

I too suck on these life giving poisons,

And laugh aloud,

Let them have their religion,

I have my flame
