Fire in my mind...

in #poetry8 years ago


It won't be silenced it will have it's way
The fire in my mind leads time astray

If emboldened I resist the urge
Any ordered plans will surely purge

I'll try and think this or that
Of the fire only must I chat

Until I give word to the fire in my mind
It is very certain no peace will I find

Once it rages and consumes the fuel
Until I share it I am rendered a fool

Its demands are simple I know for a fact
It wants to be free and this is its tact

Consume my mind and all its time
Focus is lost I can't even rhyme

I reach for the keyboard, guitar, or pen
Releasing the fire from where its been

A taste of freedom and it roars as it's freed
At last my mind gives me what I need

I should learn more after all these cases
To resist the urge leaves empty spaces

When an idea doth reveal itself to me
If I'm smart I will simply set it free

So here I write and let the fire out
And with it you can hear my mental shout
