Emotions
burn forever like fire in my soul
Dormant gargantuans like embers of a coal
Churning through feelings I am loath within to hold
My entrails to scorch and my innards to scold
And flames to consume this bittering cold
Of innermost thoughts and of things untold
And of that hidden within yearning to unfold
But to purge this heart of me e'er to silnece sold
And to forge the mien of me stalwart and bold
Hence must I unearth what was shielded in me of old
And utter inanities more precious to me than gold
Thence to forsake reality e'er fantasy to enfold
And exist in the shadow beyond the years to mold
Alas a world afresh gilded by reveries to behold
