Slowly I Burn
Vehemence has ignited the heat
and slowly I burn
for I cannot walk away
but still here I run
inside an imaginary procurement
chasing the sunlights
and the darkness in the coals
searching deep past those diamonds
flakes freckling your fears
an obsidian laden of mistrust
cutting off the edge of my crusade
it is not victory that gains happiness
where an euphoric whisper's detained
but the merging of chemistries
in a revolutionary poetic traverse
promises soon postulate adaptation
gazing across a knoted floor
fire reaches up as if from the Loins of Leah
not wanting to waste suffering anymore

Dark mistresses only lead you on to see them again;
the grasp of dark sirens' alluring voices,
add to the flavor of their sizzling songs.
Well done my friend. I may have mistaken this as something else, but I don't think that I have. Let me know.
The Only,
-Me

i especially love these lines

chasing the sunlights
and the darkness in the coals

This evokes such emotion and stirs thoughts...I'm gonna let them rattle around in my brain for a bit, I think. Another brilliantly worded poem...

There is something quite pleasing in the sheer syllabic procession of the write. I love writing that flows with a natural harmony emanating from organic expression. Nice use of rhyme just to close the write. I keep them sparse for impact as well. I would be thrilled if you'd send an audio of this to the podcast for us to air on an upcoming episode.
