Set My Soul On Fire! Poem by Jazmin OK...

Set My Soul On Fire!

Rating: 5.0


Set my soul on fire!
Set my white wings free...
Fly me down a river
Let it be
Just you and me.

Shall we go on that journey?
We’ll leave them all behind.
The voices of tomorrow,
The endless pit
Of mankind.

We will not belong here,
But we’ll finish as one,
Rise up hand in hand
When all
Has been done.

Then could you introduce me?
To all your little brothers,
With hair like sunshine,
Bringing light
To one another.

Yours will be beautiful
I know, I can see!
Even from miles away
Your light ray
Strikes me.

Closer and closer still,
To find what lies within.
To burn my heart with love
Your stunning smile, ;)
Your flawless skin.

I look into the mirror
I am whole; I am true.
But can't I be more,
With a reflection
Like you?

So set my soul on fire!
Let us fly over creation!
It will be just you and I,
Until
The revelation...

The word S-O-U-L has many meanings, but your poem focuses wonderfully on my favorite connotation of soul, that is, it is the part of of our individual self which is never wrong, never small-minded or selfish, always free and freeing, ready for flight if not already in flight! And in this poem two souls are flying in tandem - how wonderful they found each other and launched into mutual freedom. Your poem is liberating to the pent-up spirit and the depressed mind of the reader, and I join the two of you in visionary flight (as other readers will too!) I'm gushing my appreciation because your poem starts a fire in the reader, but let me just add a technical note: your command of imagery is impressive. You don't just assert the free flight in words; you create the EXPERIENCE of it through your imagery. And my Poetry teacher Deborah Keenan taught us: Imagery is the essence of a Poem!
