Flame

It roars with fierce ferocity

A blur of wings, a flash of claws

It screams with animosity

It drags its fuel in burning jaws


It heats the household hearth with light

Blazing in our shared heartbeats

Sparks our candles to starbright

Bathing us in cozy heat...

Flow (free verse)

Water is forever a changing thing,

Its flow never ending and constant.

Its scent wafts through the air

And fills your senses.


The water you drink and bathe in,

Was used by at least three others.

The cycle causing this,

As it remembers.


We take it for granted

The luck we have

That we have what we have

And it’s not a dream.


Although it’s strong,

And although it’s rough,

The life it gives us,

fire:

how beautiful it is

to watch you burn.

how wonderful it is

to see you turn to ashes.


i am the one

who allows this to happen,

for i am of fire,

the warmth, but don’t get too close.

water:

and yet so unexplored as well.

by all means, go ahead!

Drop by Drop

Drop by drop, the water falls,

On the rock, in silent calls.

Day by day, without delay,

A steady tap that wears away.


A gap appears—deep and wide,

Carved in stone, nowhere to hide.

They stood and stared, struck with awe:

"How could a drop break nature’s law?"


If something so small,

With patient beat,

Can crack the stone

Beneath its feet—


Then what's to stop

A change in me?

Bit by bit,

Persisten...

THE WIND?

It blows my mind knowing how the wind blows.

So silent, yet so touching

Either it gives you peace

Or it takes away your beauty.

What is it running for i wonder?

I imagine it with his other wind friends,

Racing to the gate and yelling to each other when one cheats.

"you cheated!"

or maybe the only times they have fun, are the times of the cold days.

"Hey, it's January! lets go play."

We should ...

Breathe In

Inside of me is a whirlwind of creeds

A version of me of endless devotions

As I encompass the world in the eye of my sea

And pour my heart out like a hurricane takes to an ocean


I am beauty and pain

Sorrow and hope

I may look hurt and in dismay

But I know there’s a knot at the end of my rope


I won’t succumb to other earthly things

As they move around me

For I am the judged, the cursed, and yet ...

Drowning

When someone is drowning,

Don’t tell them how to swim.

They can’t kick their feet.

They can’t turn their head to breathe.

They can only gasp for air,

Sucking in water

Where oxygen should be.


When you’re drowning,

Don’t do it quietly.

Don’t let yourself sink to the bottom just

Because it might burden someone else

To pull you back up.

It’s okay to struggle and make a scene.

You’re drowning.


Water ...

Rage

The flame once lost.

Now awake again.

Inside me.


The rage now found,

From its asleep state,

Inside me.


Blazing heat protruding from my words:my insult.

Like a bomb about to explode,

The screams of pure anger as a result.


The heat of the fiery temper,

Lit by regret,

The guilt spreading like wildfire.


Raging pain needing to escape,

Escape from the broken past,

From what I hoped wouldn't last,

Bu...

The Wind

An element of life

It keeps things moving

You can’t see it but you know it’s there

The way the trees wave like they’re excited to see you

And the air whistles like a soft song in the air

The leaves are scattered across the ground

In a playful pattern of fun

It all comes together a fun part of life

As we sit together and let the wind blow through the night...
