Paint With Fire

Pen in hand, against the paper, An artist must be left to bleed, Inner thoughts become written words. No better way has been found To empty out a soul. With growing eagerness, I add fuel to the fire To induce passion's flame, Hoping the blaze never dies. Forever and a day, and longer, Inside my heart the fire burns. Revealing to another soul Every spark of my inspiration.

The catharsis of creativity expressed with our most sacred and secret language, and sometimes the dialect of our own soul seems untranslatable until we devote ourselves to the blood of our passion Kelly. You have communicated this with that innocence and temper that is unique to you and which your fellow Poets relate to without exception. Yes woman, you are a fire keeper! Your sparks are brave and beautiful Kelly...J.A.B.

There are things hidden deep inside us that need to be expressed, and we are the only ones who can tell our own stories, in our own unique way.... You are also a keeper of that same eternal flame, Justin. You've got your own way of inspiring and instilling that passion into people.... Thank you for your kind words, as always. They really meant so much to me!

OOO I love it, I hope to see this in my contest, if not already. Kelly, it's been a long time, since I've stopped by to read any poems. Nowadays, I'm only up to reading what's in my contest, and welcoming forever the new poets. Anyways, I will never forget the ones I adore. One day I will be myself again, until then, I leave you with a small note. "Keep Painting With the Fire within!" xox ~ LOVE Linda
