If Desires Are A Flame

If desires are a flame, then I am a wildfire.

If truth always explodes, then kingdoms never end.

If the sky withholds its rain, the earth will starve to death.

I am eager to unfurl my wings, to discover the world.

I rise just beyond the horizon—

Only to be pulled back to the place I began.


Like Moana, I watch the world from a distance.

Only my tears keep me company.

The sand that blows around my feet hides them well,

Trying to lift me up—yet I crumble to my knees.

I am too heavy for the earth to hold.

By day, I chase the sun;

By night, I sit with the moon until I fall asleep.


In dreams, my soul finds rest—

Living a life full of purpose, passion, and presence.

Far from the caves of confinement, I reign in wonder,

Among endless adventures—

Regrets, mistakes, mysteries,

And hidden moments like buried gems.


So, if desires are a flame,

Then I am a wildfire—

Burning kingdoms,

So time may discover and delude.
