Eternal Flame – Collaboration with Poet Chris Smith

She writes from deep within her
Opening up her soul to all,
finding the words like a river
Allowing them to come, to flow

Power transformed to her fingers,
igniting the flames of her soul
Fire given form to the written page
Releasing all she has deep inside
Just like she would submit to a lover

All-consuming fire is in my essence

An eternal flame burning wildly,

never to diminish, throughout time

As it seeps through these fingers,

in unearthly passion, writ in blood

A creative mind is set into motion

Capture now this notion, if you will

As I spew forth, in depths unknown

Yet known, in the core of existence

The pulse of an unrelenting desire

I press pen unto page within love

Nevermore to please the masses

Evermore to appease the essence

I care naught for fame, nor fortune

Wishing merely to pierce the silence

In a sole purpose, right to be heard

Amongst the chaos of every day

Creating a cleverly laid design,

to ensnare those who take notice

Touching the soul of yet another

Eternal Flame

Shackles of Life

These shackles which binds me

Awaiting a day, I shall break free

Fleeing from trials – tribulations

That leads me astray, lost in mind

In such sadness, nearly suffocating

I feel, I am alone, knowing I am not

Praying for the sun to shine, anew

Warming these cold winter nights,

the ray of light that guides my soul

Yet, here I now linger in darkness

In the profound depths of my despair 

An all-consuming force holds no end

As on the extreme edge I now stand

Seeing closely the abyss that awaits

Drowning in the deepest of sorrows

In close surroundings, immoral acts

As serpent tongues persist to maim

Spitting vile venom, in their wake

Without remorse, query to inflictions

Pushing over the edge, into the void

Where darkness, now becomes a haven

As the night brings solace unto the soul

Tranquility found in an orb of self-creation

Searching deeply for the strength to surface

Into the gift of loves grace, to enlightenment

Basic instincts rule the core of this existence

Where feline senses come to full awareness

Knowing despite the fall, I shall arise anew

Landing on all fours, pouncing back on track

Taking the reins in finding a way back home
