I carry a flame inside my heart,
I light fires within your minds
ignite your imagination with my
vivid imagery and lines of expression.

I am the muse to the block,
an ink stain on your screens,
and I am lines and lines of expression
waiting for you to view me.

A streamline of thought
flows from me,
like threads of ideas
rooted together amongst the trees
of seeded plots of poetry.

I like a rose,
I continue to grow,
seeding my garden and
plotting my next
seasonal change
full of deep colors,
and rooted emotions
from past and present,
here I am always
amongst the trees.

And such fiery trees these are,
burning with desire, passion
and eager to be free
from pollution and disease.

I write for the nigh
and plot for tomorrow.
