POEM 4 IMAGES

Passion is a driving force. Truly great achievements start from this urge to create something. Passion also makes a Summer drive an exciting event, the colours and sights making your mind alight, perhaps with inspiration.

“A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke” Vincent Van Gogh

Volcano

I am on fire for you

Sipping my drink

I play cool

But I am erupting for you.

Vicious, pulsating

My beat calls you to me.

Are you a fool?

I am on fire for you.

"A volcano is an opening in a planet or moon’s crust through which molten rock and gases trapped under the surface erupt, often forming a hill or mountain." National Geographic

Looking back at my workbook, I felt that my need was to be "creative in my life". So, while I could do many things, what is very important and centring is the creative process. Feeling a little trapped by external circumstances, writing poetry became something that was a creative outlet naturally. My initial plan was to almost continue what I was doing exactly, I see - as I decided to exercise more intensely and review repertoire. Since then, I have started practicing piano seriously, which is still connected. This is my new creative project, totally different from before. So, this is the beginning of a journey - sharing my poetry.
