Volcanic Ice

It’s all lost in the fire
I can smell, see, touch every
emotion
Every Sensation heaving through
me at once
I’m Fire
It’s all Fire
Not the good kind of fire that leads
to rebirth
The bad kind
Volcanic Glass
Frozen fire
The dark crystal petrifying whatever
souls
died in that
moment
Unable to move on
Petrified Wood
No rebirth from
the ash
becoming part of all
Frozen
A snapshot of what was
Never changing
Forever frozen in death

  1. A poem is forming
    Like a whispered prayer
    Expect nothing
    Desire all

    I like that about us
    The parts we can’t see
    Pink
    Smiles
    Fury mingles with

  2. Love the photo Shareen. Transparent.. It speaks, it tells
    Enjoyed the bio, told as only you can tell
