What are you?
Are you fire?
Or you are love?
Why does my heart
Burn thus
For you?
Each time
I set my eyes
On you?
My heart will burn
Like fire in a furnace.
And even mere thinking
Of you,
It is not different;
And you don’t seem
to be aware;
At this rate,
How shall it end?
What shall we do
To quench
Such blaring fire?
I fear for my heart;
And my life;
My heart may burn
To ashes;
I am told only love
Can quench
This fire of love;
Shower me then with love,
That I may not die
Of burns
From the burning fire
Of love.
In my heart.

Burning someone’s bridge
“It’s only a foolish person who has built and owns a bridge who will burn another man’s bridge because he knows what goes into it and what he will lose if his own were burned down.”
(Romilia Quotes)
Don’t do this
Don’t do this
Unless you are stupid:
Don’t give your heart
To someone who will
Destroy it.
Don’t do this
Unless you want to cry:
Don’t burn your heart
In the name of warming it.
My ardent wish
Can’t we go back to where
We started?
Can’t we start anew?
I am thinking of how we were;
And long for it;
Do you recall those early days?
When the fire of love burned
In our hearts?
I want to see it burn again;
It burned like a wild fire on a hill;
Can’t it burn again?
Can’t you make it burn again?
That is my ardent wish.

Hard to forgive but…
I forgive you;
You know not
What yo do;
You know not the heat
That I feel in my heart;
You know not the fire
That rages in this tender heart of mine;
If you knew,
That my heart were on fire,
Burning so fiercely like a wild-fire
In the harmattan,
You wouldn’t do this to me;
I see you are ignorant,
So I forgive you;
I feel deeply hurt;
You have played with my emotions;
And the wound is deep;
It’s hard to forget;
But I forgive you.
