I am currently working on more light hearted work after a wonderful year of change . God bless you all..
An inferno rages within me
You can see it in my hair
They keep staring at me, trying to figure out things that just aren't there
How little that I care should show now
I can't give in and speak to them anymore of the secrets that I know
They may listen, but they never learn
So, I burn all over because of them
They act as though they are searching for water to throw upon me, but I know that it is really gasoline that they seek
I am never weakened by any of their games
Their names are certainly not above mine
Heating up the divine light surrounding
Pounding my thoughts into the asphalt
Holding onto my shirt tail because they think they can use me to exalt themselves to some higher plane
The inferno keeps smoldering, no matter how hard comes the blessed rain to conquer its inane ability to spread from one end of me to the next
You would think that I am over-sexed if you could see me seething
Scratching at the ground like I am in a Turkish prison cell
Always on fire
Alive and well
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes
Adorned by a hundred satin sashes
So many out there longing and learning
I hold all of the knowledge and I am burning away
So many out there, so discerning
Well, trust and believe I need nothing from the likes of you
My eyes will keep burning just to see me through to the next plane
My heart keeps on burning in the pangs of all my pain
The tables keep turning as they keep trying to find my bane
The labels keep printing because of an insane desire to categorize
Each time my cover keeps burning, I awake in a whole new guise
Surprises are what I burn for...

wow, this is so amazing
thank you very much. I really appreciate u taking the time to read and give feedback
This has an ethereal quality to it.
thank you... I agree with you...im never sure what prompts me to write what I do...I just try to capture what I'm goin through
This is a great piece - despite it's atypical format (such is poetry :P) you keep the piece flowing naturally and hold it together well with carefully placed rhymes and short lines which emphasise and really bring out it's true meaning. I love how you tell a somewhat 'full circle journey' - from burning on the inside (An inferno rages within me) to being consumed by the flames on the outside (I burn all over because of them) right the way through to the resurrection, if you will, of a more powerful self; (Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes) a really well rounded piece. Thanks for writing and sharing! 😀 xx
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment...Yes, I guess it is in atypical format, which is not at all a pattern in my writing...every piece is different with me..and I have some really weird shit too that I am going to start bringing out soon...I have been gearing the readers up for the really crazy stuff all this time...please read more...I value your opinion, as u are an amazing writer....thx again xxoo
