World on fire...

          no

 

 

 

 

 
                                
         no one can save me
 
 
 
 
 
         no
 
 
                
                        no one can save me
 
 
                                                
no one can save me but you
 
 
 
                    my world was on fire
 
 
 
            what a wicked desire
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                 An ocean made of sapphire
 
 
 
                  my heart is breaking for you
 
 
 
                                   our secret Eden caught fire
 
 
                                                
 
                           no one can save me but you
            
 
 
                                    
    I was treading an empire
 
 
 
                    dreaming and believing in you
 
 
 
                                our dance felt like barbwire
 
 
 
            lost in the wavelength of you
 
 
 
                                    A mirage made of hellfire
 
 
 
                             looking and searching for you
 
 
 
                                    might our energy expire
 
 
    
                loathing and hoping for you
 
 
 
What an oppressive attire
 
 
 
        drowning and swimming in you
 
 
 
    your resentment I admired
 
 
 
burning and dying in you
 
 
 
        No one can save me
 
 
                
                  no
 
 
 
 
                  no one can save me
 
 
 
 
                             no
 
 
                                                
no one can save me
 
 
                                                
              no one can save me
 
 
 
 
   no one can save me but you
 
 
 
                    my world was on fire
 
 
 
            what a wicked desire
 
 
 
 
I never dreamed
 
 
 
         I'd meet somebody like you

Author's Note

Muse



This time I could say I was truly inspired by both music and imagery. I wanted to see if I could spin off my own poem based on a famous song and some well-known lyrics. The reverberation of her voice made me feel like I was in a canyon surrounded by beautiful echoes...I tried to share this emotion the best I could, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

And you have certainly achieved your goal.........the way you have formatted your gripping write is like that of an echo descending down the valley of desire while still so much on fire, but the fire being snuffed out little by little....AMAZING!! I love it!!! I am so often inspired by a video, or an image, or both so I can really relate to you wanting to create this piece!!!
A favorite of mine!!

Enjoyed the unique style. I don't turn on the music at work, but I'll try to remember to come back and reread it with the tune playing. Well done!

"your resentment I admire"
would rhyme.
Otherwise, it was such a blasting poem. So well written, so well presented, so well arranged, so well did you do everything. You do things so differently from others and that too so nicely! Kudos :)

I like the set-up of the poem. Artwork was amazing also. I believe we must want to be saved. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Like reading two times entwined... Neither of you meet in the middle, her just out of reach and you speaking from hope. Lyrical and moving (literally)

it is fun to try out new things
nice one
great imagery and word choice.
the structure of the poem gave it more clarity and made it more memorable for the reader.
by the end of it I was singing it..
but the only downside is some words were tooooooo small I couldn't read them.
other than that, its a great write.

nevertheless, it was a great write....
This is really well done. I always loved this song. So haunting. You married the lyrics with the song in a kind of fade in and out just like an old LP. "Our secret Eden caught fire/no one can save me but you." The dichotomy of heaven/hell. The secrecy. The irresistible. The pleasure and pain. The Analog Kid approves. This is close to something I was trying to write presently (in the same theme). Favorite.

Sounds like something Billy Graham might have said ... his book ' World Aflame.' Great going Cobra.
