Soul Explosion

There's fire burning high,
Different coloured flames are everywhere,
I'm all alone in the centre,
No way to reach out.
Memories creep threw,
Showing themselves in the light.
Fun and carefree times,
Happiness and excitement,
I reach out in hopes to feel the same,
But these illusions are just mocking me.
As I sit here pondering to my sorrowful thoughts,
I burst into flames,
My soul becoming burnt ashes left to dance in the night.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
