On occasion
I feel I am but nothing.
The smallest slice of an ember;
Emitting no heat nor flame.
Those days I foster love.
Regenerating what is left of me,
Knowing that the tiniest ember
Still has potential to flame once again
Given oxygen,
I breathe.
Reignite;
I burn.
The truck engine rumbles
And the vibration makes me sleepy.
It is so hot already and it is not even
June.
Summer heat might kill me this year.
I like the cold better.
It makes me feel alive.
This humid heat makes me feel dreary and heavy;
Like I might take a nap and never wake up.
It makes the pavement too hot to go barefoot and I do not like shoes.
Even though I breathe through my mouth I feel as if I might suffocate when I have to wear shoes.
He is this mirage in the distance
Created by heat
And angles.
The closer i get,
The further away he goes.
I let my hair loose
Dancing,
Living
Free
Until i can no
Longer stand the heat.
And the
Phoenix I Become.
To ashes i return
(And i know no
Time in this realm)
I create fire,
Standing,
Dancing,
Flying
Once more.
And the one thing that everburns
Yet never dies within me is love.
Terrified to be overwhelmed
Some days there is nothing left
The fight of the agony
Has left me
Exhausted
Again i float
As numbness claims
Me
Extremities lifeless
To separate
Feelings
From matter
My mind shouts
Get up
Get up
You are alive and well
My mind shouts
You are nothing
You are no one
You are a minute speck
Heart-
Heavy and heated as if standing on the sun
The brightness blinding me to life
Eventually i embrace it and love i become
I always come through
I always come through
I will leave you as you are
If that’s what you like.
Or
I can return at sundown.
You can put your hand in mine
If that’s what you like.
And place your head on my shoulder.
The world goes on.
The noise continues outside
As warm smiles get colder.
But here there can be just you and I.
Heat from within
If that’s what you like.
She lives in the flame of the
Candle.
Love and heat
More than you can handle.
She makes you feel alive.
Let the fire in your soul over take you.
Allow it to consume you whole.
Don’t be afraid of the heat.
Don’t be afraid of the flame.
We are in this existence
To throw light
Into
The
World.
The Universe is singing your name.
You are not the only one
Struggling to find your way
In the dark.
So sparkle.
Shine
And let the others know they are not
On this journey on their own.
They are not so far apart.
Lend them your spark.
Together we can find home.
As One
We can
Be
The Illumination.
That white hot fire in your
Heart.
I can feel your warmth from
Here.
It’s becoming clear
The heat has
Encompassed
Me.
Has quickened
The untouched center of
Me.
If you were to drift
Closer,
Surely two
Together
Would
Become
Completely
Consumed
As one
And
The same.
