Pour my heart into verse.
No secrets can hide here.
I’ll put my heart in the flames.
Will it burn or become pure?

Stress and confusion; it’s all a jumbled mess
Trapped in Daedalos’s labyrinth of twists and knots
Did I take the path of least resistance
Or did I take the path best not taken?

The best years of my life feel like the worst
A rain that never seems to go away
Clouding the small rays of sun
That fight their way through the clouds

I find the sun through a melody
Flowers bloom as the verse progresses
A rainbow in the voice in an empty room
My heart burned pure; if only for a moment.



I was told by my professor that I needed to meld the images together a bit better. For example: I start off with a fire image and then seem to abandon it until the last stanza... Any suggestions? Please tell me what you think...

You get into rain. Maybe have the rain related to the fire, water and fire don't mix. Try doing something with that.

Thanks. I'll try and see how I can work that in. I'm not used to reworking my poetry. I usually write it in a spark of inspiration and then I'm done with it... so difficult to edit...
