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
