A budding writer's collection

Of Flowers and Fires

A world that's being torn apart,

Violence putting down its foot,

Stomp-stomp-stomp,

A thud and a shot

Banners and placards,

Their larger than life cries

The lightning of oppression,

And thunder of rebellion

Flamboyant colors,

Flame in their eyes

Flags held high and rallied behind,

Flags stomped upon and ripped apart

Honey, I see it all,

And oh! Do I feel it all

This rage in me

Ever-quaking, fiery in its fury

Honey, I see it all,

But I see us too

We can squeeze in a lil' bit of lovin'

Can't we darlin'?

Let's shred the newspapers,

Thousand tiny pieces

Let's scream our heart's cries,

We must be heard!

But, when the night arrives, baby,

In all its calm and genteel ways

When birds sing, love,

Not a care for the world

Let's build our nest beneath the moon,

Let's enshrine our love,

In that embrace.

The world can't wait,

But neither should we!

So, kiss me a bit longer,

A bit deeper,

Let urgency consume your soul,

Let fire ignite at the first touch.
