Notes About The Poem

True Passion - a Collaboration With Darren White:

Don't fight true passion living in your heart, Attracted like a moth to scorching flame, Try as you may, but you shall never tame, You'll fail and fall before you even start. Rise from the embers to begin as new, Your soul a phoenix, burning in the night, In darkest hours illuminate so bright All rainbow spectrum colours that pass through, Land at your desk, begin to understand How burning bright can be a brand new day In scratching strokes of pen on paper white With craftsmanship, you guide your doubting hand Write all your fears, write inner pain away Let poems and music guide you to the light
(Iambic Pentameter)
