Poetry: I Burn

Here is another early poem of mine that wasn't quite as good as I would have liked it to be. Still, it is creative and original to say the least.






I Burn…




I would give up the sunset


So I might gaze on your face,


Along with the touch


Of the hand I embrace.


You accept me for me,


For on you I rely


To hold my heart true,


As an arrow through the sky.


Just seeing you now,


Causes my feelings to kindle


Into a burning inferno


That doesn't seem to dwindle.


When I fall from high places,


I fall into your care.


For long ago, dear fox,


My heart you did ensnare.


I have one thing left to say


Oh, apple of my eye.


That last thing is simply


Time to say goodbye.
