Mind tight
as shrunken drum
Dangerously thin
threatening to tear
Screaming within
barely contained
Muted rage
knuckles bare
Invisible foe
spiritual war
Demanding control
at death I stare
Silken lake
remains sublime
Furnace below
barely there
Peace awakens
respect resumes
Roles remembered
re God I care
Private passions
not lay bare
Keep your senses
never declare

Thanks for message. You seem to be confused. 'Burnt' is one of your own poems. Above poem I enjoyed immensely in its bare strength. Thanks. John
