girl on fire

poem for the begining of the book Tribunal

fire tears through the wind

waiting for the dance to begin

then for all she appears

she sings her song for all to hear

 

her native tongue as sharp as a blade

her creative passion will never fade

leading saprano thats what she be

i cannot help but think this song is for me

 

i fear her insolence will bring her down

but she will not let her feet touch the ground

compassion for others she cleverly hides

i only hope in me she can confide

 

though her rage swallows her whole

i still see the serenity in her soul

love is but a fragile wire

for this tragic girl on fire
