Poem: An Unusual Fire


the fire in my heart
matches the eruption in my soul
and while my brain is ablaze 
and I go through different phases
and see the world at different stages
it's a steady heat like coals burning
in a haze of uncertainty, 
impossibility and curiosity
an uneasy velocity
and the smoke of a conspiracy theory
It's leery and you can only see the 
mist wisp but it's just hot and dreary
not scary or blurry
just a different type of energy
taking the heat and literal fire
the things we aspire
the things we should use to inspire
the things that should take us higher
to a temperature we can barely endure
yet it's so pure 
and we act like we're sure
but we're far from right
left or any insight
and this is not fight fire with fire time
but to remove the accerlerant
and become tolerant
vigilant and consistent to 
treating each other right
and using the light not the fire
to ignite love around the world
