Winter Nights of the Dancing Flame

Outspoken hearts and reserved farts,

Idle principal, surreal introversion,

A mask we wear outside.

Volcanic erupt, rubies in the rough,

By wilderness, Charisma,

contempt left to shelter.

Blizzard, abrupt, sapphires forged sturdier.

An unsuspected encounter.

Ash begins its trickled blossom,

As varied light opens a closer dark horizon,

Tiding sky Navies time by usual yesteryear.

Fire and Ice blooming

 a ripe affinity, looming.

Scorpio & Aquarius.

A surreal introversion and an outspoken heart,

This affinity by definition.

Associates, affiliation, a monotype is born,

Communion of warmth,

weather to a stereo, whispering breeze and frozen melodies.

The honeymoon match begins awaits Spring Stakes a Miss.

This poem reminisces on memories of my personal adolescent experiences in high school. It talks about some of the things we might go through growing up and tells a tale of how these hardships are a trail of passage to something better when we take the time to work for it. Whichever one you read, I hope it resonances with you. Enjoy!
