Flaming Doors
When I think of you
When I think of it
It opens a hallway of doors in my soul
Doors of passion
Doors of longing
Doors of imagination
Doors of adventure
Doors that kept my dreams
From benighted youth
Doors that are so filled with desire
They bring me agony
Incertitude shut these doors
Years ago I locked them
Now with just the thought
They fly open heaving the dust
Collected along with doubt
Distress and fear
burst into the hallway like a raging fire
Where to start
What flame to extinguish first
This thought has awoken me
From a painful slumber
Devouring me whole
These flames too strong
The doors will not shut like they once did
Nothing can be done now
The internal frenzy consumes the hallway
The doors burn to ashes
No where to hide
When I think of it
It opens a hallway of doors in my soul
Doors of passion
Doors of longing
Doors of imagination
Doors of adventure
Doors that kept my dreams
From benighted youth
Doors that are so filled with desire
They bring me agony
Incertitude shut these doors
Years ago I locked them
Now with just the thought
They fly open heaving the dust
Collected along with doubt
Distress and fear
burst into the hallway like a raging fire
Where to start
What flame to extinguish first
This thought has awoken me
From a painful slumber
Devouring me whole
These flames too strong
The doors will not shut like they once did
Nothing can be done now
The internal frenzy consumes the hallway
The doors burn to ashes
No where to hide
