the power

Spurring you on to confront your danger

Weather you break - violent winds of loss

Or deep thundering crescendo of anger

No thought for repercussion or cost

It is puzzling

A new life born

The color a smoky sky can adorn

Almost like a benevolent force

Boiling in your stomoch

Twisted passions coerce - through your veils

blood runs amok

It is blinding

A drastic action

A light of passion

It can twist consuming a soul like a snake

It can poses assuming control like a spirit

It can hide exhuming itself like the evil dead

It can oppress looming over you like a mountain

It is deceitful

A kiss from a friend

A power that made the world bend

It gives way to passion to imagine beyond whats real

Its a warning of danger if we draw nier

Though out of our control it may feel

It pushes us to create, save, and cherish that that we hold dear

So we fight because of it with an unrelenting zeal

It is deep and dark

It’s the blood you spill

It's the single spark

And It’s your hearts thrill
