Fireworks in my Stomach

I have fireworks in my stomach.

The sizzle and explode

with a red-hot lust for love

adventure and life

 

The fireworks burst

in flamboyant colour

Blue green red

hope luck and adventure

 

The problem?

They can’t leave my stomach

The bursting excitement would burn 

down my sincere forest heart

Would disrupt the garden of wisdom,

my mind

and as for my love organs?

I can imagine the disaster

 

So I keep my fireworks in my stomach

And I don’t know how long they’ll stay
