I'm On Fire Poem by Ivan Brooks Sr

I'm On Fire

Rating: 5.0


I have the compulsion to just write
I can't wait to share all my products
Results of my many sleepless nights
My mind represents a little darkroom
Where I process all the inspirations
Gathered from all my timeless flights
Flights I made to the constellations
Where I creep upon few loose words
Words that blindly roams the night.

I come alive when the world sleeps
That's when the stars shines bright
Bright enough to illuminate letters
Letters I develop into spoken words
Words that I give wings and lights
Wings powerful enough to take them
To where they can all find some hope
Bringing lights to their faded dreams
Allow me to tell you about my mind
I am on a poetic fire and I can't sit
Not now, not even if I wanted to quit.

It is wonderful that your mind has the power to take timeless flights. I wish you luck in putting your discoveries into words and sending them forth to light up people's lives with hope. It is precious to find a deep foundation of peace in this strife-torn world. I hope your words of peace are heard, and I hope messengers of peace are welcomed where they go.

Thanks so much sir, for such kind word, means a lot to me! You have rekindled my passion to write and you, in return, have taken a special place in my heart as I write my way through life.

Wow, words are inadequate to express how elated I'm..Never in my wildest imagination did I ever dream that words like ''great ''be associated to or used when other great poets like you comment on my work..unexpected! For this, I say a big thank you and remain forever grateful to you.
