#I - Sunflowers & Bruised Flames

Shaking hands with the inferno.
Made a new deal.
Signed away my laughs for sad notes.
The page is an empty audience.
The crackling gossips are mental.

Here I am against the warmth.
Be that of the sun,
Downpouring lava,
Or the holds of a sweater.
A frozen heart begins to thaw.

My eyes are stuck in place.
Vibrating in a crazed state –
As pleads come in leaked streams.

Traversing snowy lands –
As the inferno pursuits.
Melting the vibrancy of the whites –
In exchange for grittier realities.
Defences say it is prettier than it is.

Where was I all this time,
Amidst my soul and his panic attacks?
Relaxing behind the comfy curtains,
Wrapped up to lazy schedules.
My soul laid there with its limbs in ashes.

I am a traitor.
Fight for different causes.
The cause I’m against.

Friends, I have my suspicions.
My paranoia switches in flashes.
In a snap, I lash out at you.
Just because your colours changed.
My love, you’re no longer the same.

I shook hands with this blaze.
I could definitely put it out.
Even if it kills me,
But for the sake of my loved ones.
It is a sacrifice I’d love to make.

I am half-straightforward, half-cryptic when it comes to releases.

The poem is my self-commentary on myself.
The narrative for this is stems from the beginning lines, "Shaking hands with the inferno."

Telling about the warm feeling. ( The comfort I had )
Frantic eyes. ( The paranoia )
Where was I all this time / I am a traitor. ( Being self-conscious )
The suspicions. ( Return to paranoia )
A sacrifice. ( Giving the poem a sense of hope even though I "shook" hands with the devil )

''Shaking hands with the inferno.'' started off incredible, this part gives the feeling of a powerful confrontation with intense challenges. a truly intense emotional journey

“i am stuck in the ashes. i have changed” oh my GOD i love these things it’s not even funny

again your vocab at use is beautiful, taking on complex and unique terms without doing so in such a way that it becomes difficult to comprehend or follow

i love the way this one sort of tells a story, beginning in one place and continuing through until the conclusion and the final point is made

to me this seems to speak out in a mixture between a battle with oneself, as well as the sacrifice that someone may expend for the sake of their loved ones; disregarding themself for another

the hidden line in this one builds on this even more, being “stuck in the ashes” speaks out to not only the self sacrifice but the own internal battle, setting oneself ablaze and suffering for the sake of another. and the “i have changed” is another lovely touch because it makes a reference how something can’t possibly stay the same after it’s been burned away at
