My Fire

I will be a sudden silence to calm your burning soul, and quiet the words. Lay down and let thoughts sleep, escape to a place that accepts you with flaws, Stand with me there, and be one with me. Awake from sadness and shout! Laugh without control! cry for joy! I will hold you and never let you go. ©2013 Christine Phillips

Christine No, I am not the girl you met in Iraq. This poem is so full of emotion and feeling, it touches the reader and tugs at their heart in a sweet way. Nice job Thanks for the awesome comment on my Life poem.

Chistine this one touches the lonely wolf in my soul; The one that howls silently at the moon sometimes. Thank you for helping .

LOved this one Christine! While I liked the entire poem, the last line was the clincher, with the last four words being special. I hope it won't be plagiarizing you if I make a poem from that last line. If it will, let me know and I'll not even consider it.
