Burning Feeling

by Karen - Leo

It was a feeling
A feeling so strong it made the fire burn brighter
It cracked as patience lost it’s persistence
Glowed as the faces grew red with the anger

This feeling
Swirled the room, with envy in it’s eyes
And flashed faces like a polariod camera
Each snap a thread holding the lies together

The rush was the greatest ever known
The power of hate drowned out the voice of logic
It was the water, the enemy to this burning fire

A grip
One so strong nothing, not even the greatest bond could break
Holding on to the lies, as though they were the wood that fed the fire

What fire?
Where did this rage this hate this envy find the fuel to make them burn
Who had the tools to craft such work, to create this fire with little more than a smirk

Where
Yes where is the love the knowledge, that sins can be forgiven
That God is not the only one with the power to forget

Forget 
The slowly dwindling strength the breaking rope once had
The power of the burning fire the pain it’s flames have caused
And the voice of logic slowly consuming the flames

This feeling so strong it caused such bliss
The power it held, the freedom it gave 
This feeling that goes without a name
It’s strengths are stronger than simple emotion
It frees the heart to feel something real
This is no mere emotion it’s a feeling with holding all emotions
That can consume your heart if you get lost in the greatness it makes you feel, though the emotions may not be persuaded by happy endings, we yearn to know this pain or gain we want  to know this bliss.

Reason for writing:

    It pretty well explains itself, it's a really really, strong emotion, and sometimes you want to feel something like that.  Tell me what you think.
