Arson Of The Heart

Such is an arson of the heart.........

Secrets,

both howling and silent

meandering through my veins.

Seeking a river of deliverance

in Your touch.

While my mind

Screams:

"Only fools here don’t do this,

He doesn’t really care..but

leave and the magic will

cease to exist. It will curl in

on itself and be unable to breathe."

And my violently beating heart

Clings

to the invisible arrow

torn through already broken flesh,

Crying out:

"Wait, love exists in a myth,

there is a purpose

above the perpetration of desire,

it is more than cell deep

and perhaps He already knows."

(Do You?)

Such is an arson of the heart

where flowers feel

like they have nothing

to do with petals

and everything

to do with thorns.
