Writings

Thaw

Fire stamped out

But deep in me

An ember burning

I can’t see

Now it’s growing

Warming me

Ready to light

A power in me...

Ashes

We all burn out.

Eventually.


We burn bright.

We are transcendent.

Drivin by golden flames of passion.

Flames that hungrily lick the soles of our feet,

Warming us from the inside out.


We burn bright.

We are magnificent.

A sight to behold.

Potential to be ignited.


But.


We will run out of fuel.

Eventually.


All beautiful things come to an end.

Everything runs it’s course.

Eventually.


Eventuall...

Fire Child

Walk through the fire

The flames will only burn you if you fear the fire

The burn only hurts if your afraid of the pain

You must walk into your fears

Embrace your tears

Burn every part of yourself to the ground

What matters will still be around

Around we go running from the flames

Afraid the fire will hurt

We must become the ashes

To understand the burn

There’s beauty in new beginnings

Fire, Flames, Water & Waves

I was the fire, but you were the flames.

I burned until they extinguished me,

but you managed to stay, remain.


You were the water, but I was the waves,

your plans were the winds, the Moon,

I depended on them, needed them, craved-


You were the air, but I was the wind,

I was strong, but you were well-needed,

they had lungs for you, but for me, broken skin.


I was the fire, but you were the flames,...

Sticks, Tears And Flames.

My emotions burst into flames,

Ablaze right before my eyes,

Crisping my brain to ash black,

As I feel I might be going insane.


The fire devours at me,

And jerks tears from my sockets,

My entire body ripple with jitters,

My thoughts like the scattering embers.


Overwhelmed is all I can feel,

And all I can do is curse myself,

For my reaction being so fierce,

Over something so friendly.


I hate this...

Too Hot

Heed my warning: those who tempt the flames get burnt

Those who attempt to outshine the sun will soon learn their worth

Those who fly too high will often meet the earth

For a wingless bird is no more than nutrients for humble worms


You, my Icarus, my gift, I took you under my wing

But the time has come, where you must soar and sing

We shall be free to discover all sorts of things

Free to discover...

The Combustion Of The American Dream

Shots fired, cup of Stars and Stripes half-empty;

Optimism was a casualty of the Civil War’s second act.

Brother turning against brother

All in the name of their leader’s cowardice.


They say if I can’t take the heat,

Get out of the kitchen.

And in the same breath,

Telling me that is the only place I belong.


Sandwiches with truth in every bite;

How does the swine taste?


Do his boots leave prints...

Fire In The Soul

Fire

It is a beautiful item

The colors that’s in

Burns bright in your soul

It’s what keeps you alive and going

Ready to fight when needed

It’s never going away until you die

Cause fire is like your lifeline

Shines as bright as it can when your born

But over time fades away

Until there is nothing left


Don’t treat it as a weapon

But use it as a tool

To help the people in need

Use the ...

Centralia

My body is Centralia:


If you hang around long enough

You’ll see smoke escaping crevices

The roaring flames hissing

Through my rib cage


The population dwindles, most recognize

The danger of living there,

But there’s always the few who refuse to leave

Their love burns hotter than any mine fire...
