Paradise

A field of soft flowers

Beneath my small feet

A beating sun shining

The warmth feels so neat

The pretty hydrangeas

All blooming in pink

It’s hard to remember

It can die in a blink

I wish I can stay here

I wish to forget

But the past still remains

There are shards to collect

The longer I stay

The longer I lie

The longer I say

That this is goodbye

The place of soft flowers

The prison in my mind

The place that I went

To not see them die

Reality waits for me

Right at the door

It’s time to get out

There are things to explore

An Ode to Flames

From the weakest of embers,

To the mightiest of flames,

Flames are the warmth givers

Of the world

Behold, the mighty flame!

Burning with passion and boldness

While also maintaining

Beauty and grace

A tool brought by Prometheus

Used to destroy

And protect

The people that inhabit the Earth

Fear the flames of the world

For flames can engulf you

And char each and every

Body part

Worship the flames

As it gives us warmth

Protection from the frigid cold

And the power to create and destroy

The glorious flame

Representing passion and pride!

The only downside…

Taken out easily by water…

Timely Manner

Rushing and rushing

It seems I have forgotten

Deadline’s left me dead
