Fire

A little flicker of hope

A huge flame of desire

When I ask self

If I will make it

It always answers back

In affirmative

I carry the hope

Deep in my heart

I bury it

and put the lid

It is better hidden

The flame of forbidden

Path that I will take

Road that I will cross

To fuel the spark

For a better tomorrow

But the light radiates

Through my eyes

Every time I see a bird fly

I open my arms

And feel the flight

I try my best

To control the urge

I try my best

To keep my surge

away from the prying eyes

But nothing shows like joy

Nothing glows like fire

I am sure one day

My joy will burst out of my pores

I am sure some day

My fire will burn through my eyes

And that day

It will either burn me

Or

I will burn it forever

But till then

I am happy

I am hopeful

And

I am burning

Shared with NaPoWriMo for an amazing prompt based on  Bibliomancy Oracle.  

The oracle gave me these lines as the prompt:

 “But happiness too can be difficult to trust outdoors

Time and again without a roof it floats away”
