Thoughts & Words (a sonnet)

Thoughts ignite the fire

Words certainly burn

Thoughts & words are flames

That kindle the pyre

 

Enigmatic in its nature

Fire is treacherous & friend

The pen can be a flame

And the mind a forest on fire

 

Both can destroy the human soul

Indeed! but of this be certain,

Thoughts ignite the soul to greatness

Words can inflame courageous deeds

 

Thoughts and words are fire

Burning in the poet’s repertoire.
