As long as we have fire in us, we are alive. It keeps us moving forward, makes us aware of who we are. Fire in Me is an expression of love, passion, and a journey of self-empowerment. It’s all about discovering ourselves amid the chaos of our lives, embracing all of us, including our sides hidden deep in us. It explores the self through love, sensuality, knowing soul, and body. It promotes the idea of self-discovery that leads us to find our inner wisdom and the true meaning of love. These poems are not just words, are coming from the heart and may represent many who are in the process of finding their truth.
