Love Poem: Firewalking

Firewalking

I have watched the sun pour fire
into a glistening lake


I have heard a miracle born
as mornings line did break


I have seen a thousand angels
living in this world


I have survived as feeble cries
were ignored and never heard


but it was when your gentle hand
caressed my rivers bed,
shooting for the spiritual
I couldn’t care if i was dead


brushing off the peelings
of dread and helplessness,
holding on for sobs
to stop breaking in my chest


kaleidoscopes of love
are thrashing through my veins,
filling every capillary
and adrenaline’s attained


for all that I had searched
it was buried deep inside
and now that its unearthed
I know I can survive


all through the fights and conflicts
as life and love have crossed,
I always felt alone
and sometimes thought I lost


but now with love of life
my shield and spear do shine,
and I stroll onto this lonely road
but all our steps are still in time


I’ll see you in the summer
as white roses bloom again,
and a stream of fire will flow
from the ink within my pen
