The Fire

Is it true, is all I have today
The remnants of a frozen fire
Within my soul
Is it only this pain
That has over my life
Its complete control

My soul is on fire today
My feelings burn
In its incandescent flame
Perhaps it would burn with it
All signs of my pain
Perhaps finally it would obliterate
From my heart your name

The heat from the flame
Is pleasing to my cold shadow
It brings back memories
Of your warm embrace
It reminds me of you
Your love, your soul, your trace

Is it true its over?
The love is evanescent tonight
As I hold your thoughts
In my surreptitious gaze
I feel assured
I find in me, renewed light

You might pity my existence
You might judge my hope forlorn
But you are not aware
Of the frozen fire
That my heart has for long
Now borne

It is the frozen fire
That has awoken
To give me life tonight
It is this fire
That exhorts me
For a renewed fight

The light from the fire
Will illuminate my life again
In its warm flame
I would search
For the remnants of my self again

It is this fire
Which would blow
The tide of wind in my favour
The fire would be the anchor
Which would carry me
In life's endeavour!
