Soul on fire

 

Seeking after the light

Cast from the garden’s gate

Having chanced Eden’s tree

The hunger won’t abate

 

The world on my shoulders

Tuned to each frequency

Pain on every wavelength

Reasons for I cannot see

 

Drawn to the hard edges

A graveyard haunt at night

To transcend the abyss

Dance of shadow and light

 

My soul is on fire

Mysteries to unwind

Object of my desire

Beyond my outstretched mind

 

Wrestling with logic

Circles form without ends

My every deduction

Written by prior pens

 

In search of higher truths

Within this tortured cell

Seeking quixotic lands

Where tilted windmills fell

 

An inner light now shines

Fueled upon rage and fears

Born of the forges fame

Quenched in a pool of tears

 

My soul is on fire

Mysteries to unwind

Object of my desire

Has now outstretched my mind
