A Blaze

That fire burning deep inside of you,
It's blazing at a million degrees.
It consumes and devours,
It reduces all it sees to ashes.

Your words, they search for oxygen to live
You scream them and shout them
At the top of your lungs.
They roll off your tongue like blazing coals
And find their final resting place among the words of others
Burning in the inky night sky.

The fire inside of you,
I know where it started burning.
It was ignited like gasoline with words like matches
That burnt with an intensity
You weren't yet ready for.

Forgive my icy heart,
I have had a hurricane blowing through my frostbitten veins
For sometime now.

I sometimes wish my reckless and frozen eyes
Could somehow dampen the fires that burn within you,
Because they rage,
And rage they do,
On and on without relent.

You are a burning torch,
A flaming symbol that demands awe.
And me, I am a mere snowflake,
Who has forgotten that the sharpest swords,
Are forged in the hottest flames.
