Like fire, inflaming inside the strings to my heart
It burns the normality, and instead replaces it with questions
Like fire, inside a forest, it becomes outrageously out of ones control, a forest fire
My body is the forest, my worry is the fire
A continuously burning flame, courses through me
It hits my brain powerfully, painfully
The stages of non-better get worse
More and more fire
The heat from the flames erode inside and travel to the skin
Sweat from all the worry, sweat from all the fire's heat
The voice of the body tells words to another who doesn't understand the fire
The words are let out, and tears fall, extinguishing the fire
Fire's out, it's calm, but it will be back again

WELCOME SERENDIPITY ~ Thanks for a well penned and very powerful first poem. The subject of our inner FIRE is an excellent one and very very poetic. I have learned that Life & Love is a "raging fire which reignites as quick as we try to quench it ! We can get a moments relief from cathartic words and tears ~ but it always return again ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
