Analysis of Burning
*I am a fierce soul*
*Under the moon of Aries*
*Fire is my language*
*Love is my passion*
*Here I am*
*Flower in arm*
*Yearning to love*
*But burning more than I love*
*My flames of passion rages*
*Burning red like scarlet*
*And those that I love*
*I seem to have hurt*
*For these fierce flames*
*Has encroached my heart*
*I have hurt more than I have loved*
*My hands are tied*
*For if I let these flames go off*
*Darkness will take my soul*
*A heart devoid of love*
*Will be filled with lust*
*And can't be anything but lost.*

About this poem
It's a poem I wrote when I had a little quarrel with my girl friend. I was wrong but I wasn't really sure of how I will make it right so I turned to my diary. I find it easier to put my feelings in writing before opening up about it.
