My soul churned in the coals
a fire out of control
choked out burning
never enough oxygen to breathe.
Buried darkness lit with fire
as the shadows dance mockingly
upon the walks of my heart
tainted with the inner light
the dimly lit shadows
perhaps they dance for the sake
of dancing, sedation
the inner desires we find
lost to the needs of the day
found in the darkness
with the dancing flames
of a fire once burnt bright.
The dimly lit cavern of my soul.
