Ashes Breathe the Fire of Life
Rising from Smoldering Flames
Frenzied and Fevered
She Ignites a Spark
Captivating her Claim
Unearthly Desires Swirl from within
Kindling a Blaze, Incandescent
Charred and Blackened
She Leaves a Mark
Her Fiery Heart, Incessant

Charlie was lazy, as lazy can be
Loved to dawdle about the town
But Harley would have no part of it
She always thought Charlie a clown
Still, he didn’t care what Harley thought
He enjoyed doing nothing all day
Lollygagging, was his favorite sport
Yes, of course, it was Charlie’s forte
Harley decided she’d fix him good
Lit a fire, right there, in the street
Charlie took off, like a bat out of hell
The flames catching on to his seat
And that was the end of his lazy days
He would run, every time he saw Harley
Never again, would he let time waste away
Staying idle, was no longer for Charlie

I think it was just a century ago
Yes, I’m certain it wasn’t much longer
When I cast the spell of fire’s light
Twas then I became much stronger
Making colors dance, in rhythmic circles
While, below, Earth lit up the night
I stood high, above the mountain tops
Watching clouds, with mysterious light
Magical spells, calling forth my sisters
Let them rise in celebrated breath
Let them shine their light, in the darkness
Giving purpose, to their immortal death
I could feel my sisters, gathered around me
One’s who had passed, still in their prime
Banished by those, who misunderstood
I knew know, it was nearly my time
This promise, I make, to those before
I will never let you be cast aside
For you are the fire, burning in my soul
The reason you shall never be denied

With fiery breath
Erupting, with great ire
She covets the land
The photo above shows the destruction of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii!! I can’t even imagine! Prayers for the big island!

Inspired by Ritu, of But I Smile Anyway, who is currently in the editing stages of her book!
Mischievous little dragon
Made his way onto the chair
On the desk, the author’s writings
Spread out, without a care
He wondered if she’d notice
If he added a line or two
But dragons don’t know how to write
He pondered, what he should do
Deciding he should try his hand
At a sentence, here or there
With a mighty breath, he blew
Now there’s fire, everywhere!
Whatever shall he tell her
When Mistress sees the mess
“I tried to fix your manuscript
I really must confess!
These scribbles made no sense to me
All I saw were smudges, nothing greater
So I decided to help rewrite the whole thing
I’m sure you’ll thank me for it later!”
