Igniting Fire

Van Aguilar, Philippines

My wonder evades to the places I haven't left

My heart throbs for rhythm I haven't heard:

The symphony of life in notes to its extent.

My soul falls for music in zeal and passion —

The adrenaline: the spark and force in me

The enchantment: the means to drive and go

I saunter and think of the paths I have been:

The pathway leading to the nearest café,

Where I fathom the universe ahead of me

The pavements my feet had stepped on,

Where the sky is in my hands and my eyes

The rendezvous: the places where I found me

I write memoirs and relive all the memories,

For they are gone with the wind but not I

I write poetry in shallow words of emotions,

For I know I convey feelings and not vocabulary

I write and read to quench my thirst for edification,

For wisdom will always drive me to life's climax

My ears cannot hear but I can feel vibrations;

The allure and colors of life full of passion

This vibration touches and throbs my heart;

For this day I know I am more than capable

I cannot hear but I can feel the fire inside me;

Thriving and growing as days pass in full blossom

Van Aguilar loves to write poetry that fuels passion.
