Ignite meNear eternal flamesWhere I can burn aliveWhere the wells of mercy claimStrike meMake my fire blazeUntil it rests in the glowOf a morning dreamy hazeTeach meA heat that melts regretIf you chase the sunriseThen I'll catch the sunsetBurn...

  This was done beautifully. I like the meter of it and the breaking at the end give the reader a chance to feel between the drops.

Damian this song showed a lot of what I was feeling in my teens. It came out in 81′ but I heard it around 87′ when I thought I was truly in love. Haha nope hormones talking.

  Wasn’t this song the James Bond 007 theme song. “For Your Eyes Only” was also the name of a Bond movie in the 80’s I believe. Great song. Sheena Easton also did “U Got The Look” as a duet with Prince.

Torn
It’s hard to turn away
Even the thought takes effort
Knowing that this..,
This thing between you and I
Well has no real end
There was a beginning
Way back when…

I should leave
I am the embodiment of the word toxic
I know my faults
My shortcomings
I know that…
Still, I cannot leave

This thing is like a bungie cord
I drop…Read More

  The push pull in this is intense. Sometimes there’s a vast ocean between should and do. And as we know, I never learned to make bubbles, so swimming isn’t much of an option. Brilliantly written

Steadfast Flame

Do not tire, do not fade
your small light still guides the way.

Lift your hands, whisper your hope
let mercy fall where hearts are closed.

Breathe, and breathe again
grace softens stone
faith carries flame.

Rise each day
extend your hand
your devotion flows
into the unseen, the unheard
everlasting.

  Love the art work!! It’s true I think, that we need to keep on going, to be the hope that keeps the lights on or the candle lit. Often, I think, people do not understand the effect they have on others, how their words or actions give people hope, a reason to keep going on. Our world suffers and it is the flame of hope that offers a way out.…Read More
