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.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem was inspired as a result of a conversation I had with one of our poets, Kurt Philip Behm. I thought about what he said and I got an idea to write a poem about thoughts and words. This is the result. Enjoy and comments are welcome.

GRACIAS ROBERTO POR UNA POEMA EXCELLENTE ! Thoughs and words lead to deeds and in the END it is the deeds that kill ~ BUT ~ you cant hav the one without the other. Love sonnets ~ thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
I love it. It inspired this ... (Hope you don't mind)
Thoughts ignite and feelings stir
Words simmering still to warm
Unspoken sparks left in the night
Kindling a pyre still to burn
Delphian in its natural form
The smoke a treacherous friend
The ink to inflame, as lies cremate
The mind, a forest on fire
Their heat can destroy the human soul
But of this one thing be sure
One thought set free from a frozen dawn,
—burns intrepid in the poets hand
The verse now stacked and dried of doubt
Its ignition up to you
As unlit it waits for your next breath
To burn the spoken air

Wow! I certainly like this... one thought ignites another; words inspire others and so on. Great job. Out of a comment, two poems. Great job my friend.
Maybe we can keep it going ....... 🙂
