BOUQUET OF FLAMES
look into my eyes and see
flames burning wide and deep
reach to my soul and feel
heat surpassing that of the sun
Within me is a roaring fire
each flame kindled by
emotions, raw and unhindered
glaring, pernicious flames
ignited by seething anger
at the world, at myself,
at everything!
fueled by my impuissance
relying on the help of others
cold, icy flames_
ignited by indifference
the waves of depression churning
drowning the pain and me
time sails away reluctantly,
leaving a subtle clue to
my fading identity
flames of dreams unfulfilled,
inward and vagrant
of passions and ambitions,
fierce, yet cheery_
flames that show the treasure within
flames that redefine everything
one by one, I pluck them
to form an intense bouquet
together they burn perpetually
imprinting my name into time,
pushing me to embrace the scars;
and show my flames for all to see
to never give up till I exceed the sky_
to burn, and never stop burning
