Burn.

                                 

 

 

 

 

     Glory on high,

  all withers to fire!

 

     Praise Him,

  for He alone

    melts rocks buried in flesh!

 

 Let our rocks cry out,

   "I am a heart!

     I now love!"

 

 

 

 -and let everything we love

burn.

 

    Let ashes scatter

farther than we'll run after.

 

   May we pity ourselves

and our loves,

 

  as God through His grace

pities us.

 

 

 

  Burn, my loves, burn.

    This image was terrifying; to see the flames reflected in the eye -

    and what a powerful inspiration of words linked together, prompted by passion and muse - wonderfully done.

    thanks for entering

    its realistic and you made it what it is realistic to my soul

    it has flavour and its has volume and more folks need to read it to be able to realise it in our hard times in america;first i will say pray for me i am writing my first poetry book ever and i am putting every thing i got in to it;so now return the favour by going to strandedrose4386's poetry entitled the silent angel and leave me a comment or verdict and or check out all the others but especially the one that is called i dont need and leave a verdict and again burn has a way of getting to you;njayb

    wow very harsh yet glorifying in the highest power. the way you brought god and fire together was just powerful. the last lines had a very Sweeney Todd feel to them ( love that movie and loved the line) great work
