OPAL INGRAM

Fire And Ice

We spoke in a passion

gentle and sweet.

He listens to every word

she utters his words melted

her heart.

She stood still on a hot day.

shoulder to shoulder.

surrounded by a bold blush.

It was bold and dare.

Full of delight

It glows with a flare.

chill against the sun.

Lit with fire and Ice.

 Silence Stood

It all started when Susan loss her Inner self.

In a world where lying was normal and scary.

She uprooted herself and built up her mind.

Her soul became fragile.

She became vulnerable and she surrounded herself

around so many secrets.

Only to protect her inner strength.

Silence taught her the truth even in a lie.

she learns what real meant.

Silence stood in a shadow

 it lurks out everything

she wanted to know about herself.

Constancy was her power where silence always stood.

In a world where lying was normal and scary.

She became brave.

Silence stood it open her mind

to all the endless possibilities

to let go of the unwanted desires

and baggage of things of no substance.

She knew if she went back

things would always be the same

so she changes herself.

"She silently stepped out of the race

that she never wanted to be in found her own lane

and proceeded to win.

Love I Felt.

I felt it softness

It made me warm.

My heart began to beat

It felt cool and wonderful.

It grasps a feeling that felt like a ache

the ache felt good like a butterfly

It quiets my soul.

The love I felt

the feeling most wonderful.

I wanted to keep it forever more.

I felt it from head to toe.

It made me feel special.

In it's own way

it rumbles

my soul.

The love I felt.
