They throw
sacrifice into volcanoes
to appease the gods.
my blood,
it burns-
it flows in the
chambers of the heart
patiently-
waiting.
the gods
let the heart rest
at ease while they slumber before an eruption.
but she disturbs my existence
with peace-
serenity.
in her eyes
there is the tranquility of water
clear pools
diving in-
profound,
taking deep breaths
and
I sink
in her eyes
there is the tranquility of water
there
i find the
opposite of me
the opposite
of fire-
extinguished
unable to act
except to
write down words-
Those eyes require sacrifice
to appease them-
should these words fail,
i don't know what will happen.

raw emotions well put on :)
