Poems of Longing

I. 

Anger: what do you want me to hear? 
I am fuel: use me or I will consume you

 How do I use you? 
Ask yourself 

Why are you here? 
I am your essence: Fire 
Expand, or like a candle in a box
You will die 

II.

How far must one travel  
From fearing my journals
Left out in the open 
Might become your food?

I have nothing to fear:
Lacking hunger for my thoughts 
You will not read them

In an unfair leap
My conclusion lands thus
On both feet

III.

The rocks on which we crash and shatter 
Continually refresh themselves 

IV.

I spent a lifetime studying
And for what

I've forgotten and now 
Can't sit still

We all know what happens in the end
