On fire
I spark, I flare
I have roared and danced,
with each passing day my flames fall.
but with each fighting breath my heart burns to jump and race.
Always so slowly my lights seem to dim.
With all these flames I wear, not a one of you have noticed I'm burning.
Maybe we are all on fire too.
Maybe I burn alone.
Patrick Conroy Jul 2013
Sparked thoughts of embracing you upon sheets of white.
Your orange-red hair highlighting
smoky green eyes that follow
invisible trails of perfume as it floats across the room.
The taste of your beauty lingering with the completion of each kiss.
Silently putting me at ease.

some things just spark.
like the way a person's smile can ignite
and burn into the images of your brain.
or the way a person's laugh
can catch the whole room on fire.
or their mannerisms dousing you
in a gallon of gasoline.
and then when they say hello
the match drops onto you
and you burst into flame.

Light my fuse
strike a chord
with verses mightier
than the sword

Charge my synapses
til my light turns on
Spark my senses
when the night feels long

Bend me contort me
fuel animation
direct and guide me
for mutual stimulation

Send me a thrill
write me a tale
Whip me up into a frenzy
you can use Royal mail

write my menu
Whet my appetite
with foods that arouse
and please in plain sight!

kindle these embers
make me shake my jelly
but most of all
fuel the fire in this belly!

Children of Fire
Clans from near and far
The time has come.

The ominous is approaching.
Soon everyone of us
Will fear to be in the end
The last of our kind.

So rise up!
Stand together!
As allies.
As brothers and sisters.
Follow the call!

So that we can ignite
One last time
Like a phoenix
From the ashes
Bevor we expire forever.

Hiding in the bathroom
Laying on the floor
Weeping from the heartache
Begging, "Please, no more"
I cry out for help
But nobody tends to listen
You spark the words
My name in vain
I question life
Am I even sane?
Nothing is ever what it seems
It's just a tragic fantasy

I only feel in extremes,
all at once,
nothing at all,
no in between,

they are wild,
changing rapidly,
bouncing around,

then, they are silent,
unmoving,
nothing happening,
feeling unhuman,

— The End —
