Fear of Fire by LAron Washington : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : rnbron


I grow colder with the air

and you are now my only fire- my only fire, only

you are not my fire, not my fire,

not mine really,

not in this real world that you and i can see,

so I close my eyes and just feel, my dear,

feel the vibrations

of the air when you are near, which

alerts me to your presence and your past, and I can hear and I can feel

the words beneath your words

between your words, that echo

in our private dance and plucks my spirit

like a feather or a string

so that I can feel you though I fear you;

fear to touch you for fear of the fire

which is in you and which is you

and is in me too

now I fear because of you..

So I shiver in the middle and in the middle

of all this I prey and I pray that this

would all just melt away, and I could

feel you, through the fire that is you

and the woman in the fire that becomes you

beneath the visions and ire,

beneath the frequent "never minds"

and the harsh "I dare not say" and the

sentences that die in mid flight

because to finish them would give life

over to chance--Delving pure

beneath it all, to the pure you and to the pure

me too.
