    Ablaze

    I am the crafter of my own destiny

    I am the map-maker

    The life taker,

    I am the lover, the laughter and the end.

     

    Watch me dance, but not too close,

    I am fire, I am power.

    Watch me burn.

     

    All the fuel of my soul will be spent

    But it will blaze so very brightly.

    I will outshine the sun for a second

    And then you will see

    The woman the girl in me made.

     

    And when I fade, when all is done

    There will remain a scorch mark

    Burned on your skin

    As a reminder of what the day does to the night.

     

    I am the woman you danced with

    The girl you smiled at

    I am the dawn and the dusk,

    I am an eternity in one breath.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
