Fire Is Burning,

Orbiting the organism of time On that straight line that's mine With that occasional curve That strikes a nerve that I deserve Feeling like a hungry tiger Watching the sun as it's getting brighter The knot in the rope is getting tighter The weight of the world on my shoulders Watching the coals sit and smoulder Trying to express my inner thoughts It's getting harder now, I don't like it alot! The fire is burning now, it's getting hot! Emotions are painful, Make it stop!

The rhythmic pattern of your thoughts create a breathtaking mood. It sounds like moments are becoming intense, emotions are everywhere- and you are trying to break free. Yet, you want to stay in the heat- just a little longer. This is beautiful. ~ Brandy
