waterlotus writes:: " A single spark can signal a forest fire,
There is a flame within my eyes,
These windows to my soul,
Show you the candle of mind.
-
Candle
-
And we’re old flames, you and I,
Think back to when two candles clashed –
There was sparks within our skies
-
Flames can join – become a fire.
-
Flames turn to fires,
When not handled properly,
Old flames, like habits die hard,
You say, as temperatures rise,
Consuming reason within my mind,
As flames continue to rise.
-
Rekindles
-
That look in your eyes,
Igniting passion within my heart,
This burning within my chest
-
This fire seized whole of my being
Even after your departure,
Leaving me to burn at the stake,
Burning all but my heart.
-
Pain turns to anger
Because anger’s easier to maintain,
Anger only fans pain burning me
Away.
-
I find myself a refugee in this devastation,
I could drown myself in alcohol,
Afraid to learn this too is flammable,
Consuming more – this bonfire
Of heart, eyes and mind.
-
Pain turns to anger,
Because it’s easier to maintain
This fire within my eyes.
