I Want

I want
to be pure,
to no longer
live in the past
haunted by
demons that
want to control.
I want
to never again
hide from life
love and everything
in between.
I can't breathe
and I want
to breathe.
I want
to recognize,
the fire in your eyes
so it can meet
the desire in my soul.
I want
to feel my heart again,
to feel it again beat
and bleed
life into me.
I want
to feel invincible,
to dodge
this vile world
and the bullets
it fires
again and again.
I want
to recognize,
the fire in your eyes
the warmth
in your touch.
I want
to know you are
the one
so your fire
can meet
the desire in my soul.

  2. I love this! To me it tells of the yearning I feel to know God beyond the realm of the spirit, to know Him as He dwells in an ordinary man, because the more He lives in a man, the more that man has the fire that I desire! It becomes an experience of both human love and divine love, which is God's intent! A wonderful truth, but much more wonderful when put to poetry!
