She Was

fuel to my fire
water to my inferno

ground I grow forth from
that which grounds me

words in my quill
thrill in my words

the key to my soul
the wall around my heart

air in my lungs
what takes my breath away

music for my savage beast
that brings out the savage in me

my wild side
the quiet inside

my source of patience
my driving force

my light in the night
the night in my light

my broadened horizons
my tunneled vision
