Melani Udaeta Poet Free verse

So Paint So Write

To the fire in the storm,
thank you. 

Thank you for fueling me with rage 
that has led to such feverish words;

Thank you for the reminder that 
a downpour of pain is temporary.
So paint! So write! 

Thank you for burning my skin 
and leaving a scar,
dousing every phrase I pen with passion; 

So paint! So write!

Thank you for the incurable
scripturient need that would not, 
could not be denied.

Thank you for the coals to scrape
poetry across and igniting my insides;
Forcing them to explode into wild;

So paint! So write! 
To the fire in the storm,
thank you.
