Fire burns
turn the page before it burns away
cinders, words charred
Stars burn
Nuclear fusion
Life is fire or is that an illusion?
Love the unquenchable desire
to form flame
to gather that person’s many names
and love them all
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
The ash forms a tree
Yggdrasil the ash tree of life
Forming us anew
The flames that burn in me and you
The forgotten rage
the tenderness of a kiss
all get written on these blank pages
the journal I write
to set my emotions a light
epiphanies and realisations
new sensations
became metaphors
that open doors
similes that create smiles with ease
I am the pen tangled with the page
I am the rhymes written to take to the stage
and music arrives
to create vibes raps and hip hop
don’t stop
write and keep writing
the only way from here
is the place we touch in our minds eye
the soul is wet and it’s ink
let’s sink further still
for we have the will
to be better
love letters
to our creativity.
The mask
I hide behind layers of onion like skin
You can’t see my soul, what is within?
I am a fragment of the universe
You will never realise my true worth
All the words I mean to say and have said
the pages I have written the poet bleeds,ink I have bled
read the words I have written
Explore the meaning and be smitten
Look within the cage of my soul
Lightening strikes but my inspiration is out of control
The artist in me yearns for grandeur
I want you to see my muse and understand her
Wisdom and strength through love.
The push and shove
of life gets in the way
But I define the path from which I don’t stray.
