    Inspired by the song "Walking on Fire" by Evolution

    Walking on Fire

    I can feel the drugs

    Kicking into me

    Only a small window of hope

    Before I lose who I am

    A small flicker of light in your eyes

    Echoing onto something you can’t see

    A spiral of ripples

    A transformation

    Time is slowing

    May soon be over

    Slowly melting over me

    The wax of the burning candle

    Dripping into the forming ripples

    A warm liquid washing over me

    Making me solid

    Holding me still

    Unable to push away

    Under the tap of their feet

    An echo above me

    Forming into a word

    Over my very being

    Contemplating though

    Maybe

    I am not whole.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
