THE POEMS

Burnt

Expectancy;
a nervous shiver
of excitement.
Learning;
discovering.
New things
to search for.
A glowing flame,
burning.

Confusion;
happy and angry.
Honesty, then
lying.
Uncertainty;
excitement gone.
A glowing flame,
dying.

Disappearing;
fading away.
All to know is
learnt.
A distant flurry
of emotion.
A glowing flame;
burnt.

(Written in March, 1996)

Burnt was published in the anthology Expressions, by RJ Publications (Abbey Books) in October, 1997.
