Inner Flame Quotes

“People admire inner bonfires that burn so bright, and out of ignorance to these things, they gather around and think that the bonfire is some kind of blessing on their behalf, is some kind of untouched thing that knows only the purity of everything. It's all ignorance. The larger the bonfire, and the brighter it burns, the more evident the fact that it has consumed more wood and more air than the smaller ones. You burn because you have to burn. And you're not burning for others, you're not burning to be a blessing; you burn because you have to burn.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“In the silent whispers of the night,
Where shadows dance and dreams take flight,
There lies a yearning, deep and true,
A hunger born of longing, infused.

It sings within the soul's soft embrace,
A melody of desire, a tender chase,
A craving for a touch, gentle and kind,
To soothe the restless heart, the troubled mind.

Like petals seeking the sun's warm glow,
Or rivers drawn to the ocean's flow,
We ache for connection, for hands to meet,
In an alchemy of passion, sweet.

To feel the brush of fingertips light,
To ignite the senses, to set alight
The flame that burns within, intense,
A symphony of longing, immense.

So let us reach across the space,
And in each other's arms find grace,
For in the touch, we find release,
And in each other, we find peace.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“Phoenix Queen:

You blaze so brightly
You set fire to the heart of this world.
You conjure up enormous love in all you give,
And keep rising from the ashes as a Phoenix queen.
Some will be burned by your flame,
Try to cool you, put you out,
Make you think that your passion is something to doubt,
But the ones that truly matter will dance with your flame,
Stoke you, stroke you,
And stay lit right beside you.”
