extinguishing a fire




a fire is burning within

many times to extinguish

i have tried, with no success



the more i tried dousing

fervently did that flame rise



should i, then, let it blaze

until its own death

buries that flare to revenge



or, should i consume

myself in that fiery wrath

until that little soul

is made pure as the truth
