I Want To Burn

A Poem by Cobblestone Traveler

Well this was a new experience. I spoke the birth of this one into my phone recording app. Made just a few small edits to shape it.

I want to burn

to feel the searing flesh

Creating a brand new being

the exit of my pre-existence

The scorching sensations

of rebirth and new beginnings

Giving me the pleasant ache

of bursting brightness

Reaching unknown heights

for a formless element

Yet to even show its face

its features, its intentions

And yet, I trust it fully

and I'm ready to receive it.

FIN

Once again, a wonderful use of vocabulary. I love the *almost* invisible rhyming words and consonant sounds/letters connecting words to prior expressions creating cohesiveness within the poem... I feel *most* people underestimate the power of the individual letter, which, it seems, you do not; and that's what I love (from what I've read of you thus far).

"I have put rhyming on the back-burner and have yet to express it's truest qualities within my poetic expressions thus far... 'I feel it's what I've explored most and am here to work on weaknesses...' but it's always nice to see things one has learned be put into effect by another poet... (whether you're aware of it or not (; ... which I think you are)."

Much love,

LR

The starting lines and closing ones are devastatingly good! I can truly feel the depth in this one!
