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
