    I just recently started writing poetry, I was mostly short stories before that...
    I'm not really sure what I want to showcase but I guess this'll do...

    Symbol of the Unknown

    In the dark and cold I follow the torch
    In the never ending night I chase after the flame

    But why?

    Is it for the warmth?
    To nourish me on the cold winter nights
    Keeping me from freezing

    Is it for the light?
    To separate the darkness
    Revealing a brighter reality

    Is it for the beauty?
    To mesmerize me
    Taking complete control

    Is it for the wonder?
    The impossible riddle
    Sharpening my mind

    Is it for the excitement?
    To feed my passion
    Making fantasy real

    Is it for the burn?
    For the flame to engulf me
    Me rising as a phoenix from the ashes

    I chase this flame but I don't know why
    I follow this symbol but I don't know what it means
    I know the name but not the definition
    Love
