A Perplexing Pen

I'm a cerebral fire
That burns from within
I try to do right
But I succumb to the sin

I reflect the flames
From the sun up above
And I harbor the passion
Of the moonbeams of love

I try to control
The words that I say
But I spit them out
And they fall where they may

My heart is a pump
And my mind is a filter
My tongue is a flower
That will not wilter

So I write with the pen
That I have in my grasp
And hope that the words
Solve my literary task


Rockman   :-)
