ARE THE POEMS BURNING IN YOU?

ARE THE POEMS BURNING IN YOU?

Emilio Sánchez

Are the poems burning in you?
Are the words carving themselves deep into your soul?
Does your flesh feel their fire?
Does your heart ache from it all?

Are the poems burning in you?
Are they taking up your peace of mind?
Are they riding up from heart to mouth?
Is there something to find?

Does your heart feel your bones?
Do your bones feel your heart?
Do your words want to express
Everything that thou art?

Do you want to explode out into the world?
Is it exploding deep within you?
And that brings us the quintessential question:
Are the poems burning in you?
