Poems
Oct 2013
One Thousand Fires
A thousand fires raged in the valley of my heart,
burned the orchards to cinder
A hundred rivers flooded the plains of my soul,
drowned the good harvest
Ten thousand warriors destroyed my ego's fortress,
took the women and butchered the knights
They led me away in chains
The money-changers cast me out of the Temple,
You are within me,
and that is enough to break this prison
