strip away the physical of place,
the where-a bouts of purpose
a naked soul peers into a mirror
reflecting self
within the heart is found a contained fire
the flames roll with sturdy desire
spit, scream,
lies muffle the scene
quick step to serenity
eyelids opened to a worlds window
stark chills lift goose bumps
time is fleeting by while the skin merely heats
the radiance is ignored
inside self's cage it has nowhere to go
