What becomes of a soul when it finds true Its whole is less than the sum of its parts Seeking blood through a flame, heated and blue And meter finds this anew when prose starts Soliloquy, a phobia, a thought Is everything a callous writhing Such as this imagination has wrought And all we see is red, this old tithing As I was struck by fire with no way out I knew that I was trapped, and still I found That none were there to hear my silent shout As my voice hidden by glass had no sound And they weren't there to shatter, hear my pain The flame was a soul, a heart stolen twain

As I Was Struck By Fire, a sonnet
What becomes of a soul when it finds true Its whole is less than the sum of its parts Seeking blood through a flame, heated and blue And meter finds this anew when prose starts Soliloquy, a phobia, a thought Is everything a callous writhing Such as this imagination has wrought And all we see is red, this old tithing As I was struck by fire with no way out I knew that I was trapped, and still I found That none were there to hear my silent shout As my voice hidden by glass had no sound And they weren't there to shatter, hear my pain The flame was a soul, a heart stolen twain
