Soul on Fire

Have you ever talked to Adar? I wouldn't advise it unless you are dedicaited to the cause that you are focused on. Don't let you soul be the victum of an ever burning flame. Don't wield your pain and hate.

 

I have use this double edge sword

I have slain many of my problems

I have killed myself in the process

I will never be the same now

Wielding my pain from my heart

Sure it’s great for the ultimate protection

But it came with the ultimate price

 

My heart chakra exploded with this inky dark flame

Soon my whole soul was engulfed

My perception changed

My mind has altered its logic

I am empowered, I am in control

The feeling was nirvana, ecstasy

At least for one who never felt love

The flame was overpowering

Burning its taint into my soul

Like an infernal investment that I asked for

I needed this feeling, so many people has it

I for once was strong… for once

 

Now the flame needs fuel

The soul is its tender

Slowly eating at everything that was me

And I only thought this was noble

For I was weak, and now I am them

My turn on top, my turn to play

But the feeling needed more focus

Soon, my soul burnt away

Now I feel paranoid

Everyone is laughing at me

They may not perceive this gift

But they feel their chance to strike

All I could do was lash… and I did

 

I lashed at those I called friends

They thought I was losing my mind

But I knew they were betraying me

But that was my perception without spirit and love

All that was burned as fuel for my flame

I lashed at those I considered family

Sorry for those words so motivated

I only knew how to spit poison

And maybe you will see it my way someday

See the power I once wield so blindly

I wish it didn’t leave a scare in my heart

Now I can only feel… scared

 

I have been chosen to wield the final seal

But at the cost of others I have hurt

I still don’t know better

And I would sacrifice it all again

If I had another chance of a new soul

I would sacrifice my soul for one reason though

To make sure you are all safe

So now my heart will never stop hurting

And only one thing will revive the soul

But this medicine is so foreign to me

Because my heart never developed love

And now that is the curse I must live with

The second verse or "stanza" got my attention. The flame tainting your soul, and you being strong for once. It touched me. The ending to it, where you spoke of only one thing will revive your soul and it is a medicine so foriegn to you, I loved that part. So love is what will heal your sould, but at the same time your souls flame might taint the one you want to love. I love the bittersweetness of this work. Well expressed and written, I enjoyed it.

This is an amazing writing. It touches one's soul just by reading it! The pain is felt by the emotions you are letting us feel ... I never read such kind of poetry ... It is deep and I thank you for sharing it with such a talented writing give you have!

Salam (peace) to you :)

This is a gripping, powerful poem . I liked the referance to your heart chakra. Anger and hate can drive antone to madness. excellent write.

[Alysa]

Very powerful. The words hit all the right places and fit in completely. "I am empowered, I am in controlThe feeling was nirvana, ecstasy" This line caught my attention. The ending was great. I will make sure to read more of your work.

[Angel Bird]

These words for sure come out of a deeply wounded soul, which's only protection was to build a fence around its wounds and scars, and to fight back with blind incensement ..., and as a result of it all, you buried your own self deep down within yourself ...

Writing is such a wonderful instrument to let out some of the pent-up emotions, to free one's own soul piece by piece. Never stop writing your thoughts and emotions out of your system, you are a gifted writer ...

Don't forget it's never too late to say 'Sorry!' to those who mean or meant a lot to you, and to do so will never be as hard as it will be to live with the guilt or burden or whatever it is to you.

Incredible piece again! This absolutely impressed me!

"and now that is the curse I must live with" A perfect ending to a shatteringly piercing piece. Bartering souls are never a good idea, though for what cost wouldn't anyone pay for a little inner peace, harmony...and lots of love from others.
I like how it started with a positive intention then went places most don't mention. Turning around again in the end, this is good poetry, my friend.

Just when the pain would appear to be subsiding, more severe pain strikes. What a struggle you've penned! Perhaps if I allow myself to be honest, I can relate more than I care to admit. Sharon

[Suki]

Oh wow.. I like this A LOT. And I can actually relate to this very much so. Reading this was like... I don't know... It's almost like what I think about most of the day and its so accurate it kind of weirds me out that someone can be experiencing something so freakishly similar. I am SO adding this to my favorites.

: D Make like lettuce and keep it fresh
