Here is the full poem ‘a fire in that kiss’:
that kiss…
it’s a bitter taste now.
and god, how it felt like love,
and then it turned into
such. brutal. pain.
but you make sure you
keep loving deep.
and keep your heart wilder than wild,
because someday you’ll breathe it
all out as stardust and art…
and there was a fire in that kiss
that always came from
your own lips.

you better stay hellbent in your heart
and go where it wants you to go… because
it will ache if you don’t.
– excerpt from ‘you wanted me to dream’
by butterflies rising
An excerpt from her poem ‘you wanted me to dream’, the butterflies rising quote ‘you better stay hellbent in your heart and go where it wants you to go’ is actually inspired from things that her grandma would say to her growing up. Her grandma is one of her guardian angels now, but the quote stays with her, and her grandma’s determined, hellbent heart still inspires her. The quote and poem are about the way her grandma would encourage her to stay hellbent in her heart for her dreams no matter the challenges or circumstances or doubts she had to hold on through. Here is the full poem:
you wanted me to dream.
and you just wouldn’t ever let me
give in to the give-up.
you’d say…
“you better stay hellbent in your heart
and go where it wants you to go… because
it will ache if you don’t.”
and when i ache a little
from waiting on a dream, i remember
what you said, and i stay hellbent in my heart,
and i try to go where it wants me to go…
because i know that it will ache
even more if i don’t.
