Authors note: I hope you’ll indulge me as I play a bit with fire (no pun intended). My life is at a point where stress has taken a hold and will not release. As such, I am finding more darker writings, as my mind tends to travel a bit far 😉 If you’re so inclined, please read on….Thank you.
With a flick of her finger, a wave of her hands
Sparks of the devil, ignite where she stands
Beauty is captured, in the glow of the fire
Spiraling upward, higher and higher
Conjuring heat, she‘s alive with the flames
Awaiting the fallen, whose souls she reclaims
Fear this demon, the one in which you confide
Her fire burns quickly, once your life is denied
