bathing in napalm

I bathe in napalm / oily fumes

awakens my writing demon / craving 

feedback / validation / yet fearful of

the burning / the torch you throw me /

I hunger / as once I hungered her

Her journey through the forest was 

long, and made longer by the lack 

of a real path to follow. But she had 

heard whispers of a well somewhere 

deep in the ancient wood, a well that 

would show anyone that looked 

down it a reflection of their true path. 

As a lost soul she craved that insight, 

and her pursuit of the well a small 

price to pay.

Reflections in a fish bowl

Some days things gets done 

Other days not so much 

One day the pile of letters will topple and

force his hand 

to open or stack again

I would let you in

tell you about the me without a face 

I would let you in

show you the things that fills me

I would let you in

but I lost the key to the door 

I never thought me worthy of and

I lost the map to the forrest 

you would need to cross before 

you face the door without a handle

the door without a window

the door you need to break down if 

you want to be

mine
