The fire that sleeps <br />in my heart's volcano <br />began rising <br />like a rose, <br />like a Stravinsky's bird, <br />the fire that crowns <br />my cardiac crater <br />until my lips burn <br />the heavy silence.<br /><br />João Tomaz Parreira<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fire-that-sleeps/
