A World On Fire
There’s a fire raging in my heart, I feel helpless as I see the world in dire straits and the humanity structure seemed on the point of collapse… A wound that doesn’t get healed A thirst that couldn’t get quenched A desire that couldn’t...

The Fire Beneath Her Silence
They said she imagined it– that flicker in her spine, like a vow whispered between the bones, a hush older than memory. no temple, no mantra, no saint's breath on her shoulder– just a silence that split her softly like dawn splits shadow. something rose– not seen, but felt, like a secret carried from life to life, finally unfolding. it wasn't light, not yet it was heat that knew her name. each...

**I.** Does my radiance scorch your comfort? Does my presence rattle your idols? You call me delusional— Yet tremble when I speak without chains. **II.** You offer pills like prayers, not to heal, but to silence. Still I rise, voice unmuted, confessing only that I am whole. **III.** ...

Phoenix's Lament
I rose from flames that kissed my wings, A timeless dance where rebirth sings. Ash and ember, my cradle, my shroud, I burn anew, fierce and proud. I watched them gaze, their fragile eyes, Afraid of death, of fate’s disguise. Yet I am death and life entwined, A creature forged beyond the blind. The fire does not scorch it shapes, it molds, It claims...

Not Ash, But Fire
They mistook her silence for softness. But beneath that stillness, the ground was shifting. She wasn't snow– she was the mountain before it breaks. She held her tongue like a fuse, every word a spark she wasn't ready to let go. Not yet. She didn't scream– she shimmered. Until the heat in her lungs became truth, until the truth was too molten...

I felt the earth moving under my roots. Very same feeling deep down as it was - five thousand years ago when Flame Mountain started murmuring and belching before. It turned its anger on all of us spewing a fire river of scorching lava burning the brush to ash, darkening all living things it touched in its flow. They call me "Methuselah The...

Premium Member You Have No Clue 2
Before your clocks, before your name/ Before dust whispered into bone/ There was light-I was flame/ Crowned in brilliance, alone/ Not fallen. Not damned. Just other/ Too bright for Heaven's fragile sky/ They called it pride, not knowing the shudder/ Of a God who dared to cry/ They shaped me from the holiness' edge/ But chained my glow in fear/ I rose beyond their sacred...

spark
"If you are blessed, with a spark, Within your spirit and within your heart, It is in my opinion, that it is within your obligation, To be brought to ashes by it." This is a quote by Charles Bukowski, It is the exact reason people must know the ins and outs, Of something that we do not care about. It is why...
