Wild Imaginings





It courses through my soul
A pounding rhythm beating
To the melody
of this hummingbird heart

It’s a sound of you
Stolen to thought
Trapped in perceptions
I cannot release

Ever present I fight the urge
But still I run into the vision
flames dancing on the sands
Unquenchable all consuming

Though it burns my fingertips
I reach out to hold you
Because I crave the fire
of your wild imagings

They blaze through my mind
Blinding me with brilliance
A light found hidden
On the edge of insanity

  4. The burning and craving create a nice contrast with the desire that flows through the body of the poem.

  6. That fire of insanity... powerful idea not fearing that edge. Indeed a human reach of desire, though been known to cause many burns. Nice work!

  9. Exquisite use of imagery yet again. "Flames dancing on the sand" was just one of a number of powerful images you spun. Spellbinding poem.
