Come to me, my sweet apparition

My dream has now come to fruition

Your flame, solely, belongs to me

A spirit, a guardian, I welcome thee

Rising up from the fire, we become

One with the flame, and easily succumb

Together, we embrace the true beauty

Of the fire, the spirit, and the mighty bee

A tragic event that brought him down
His house, left in total shambles

Disaster had struck, while he was away
He was out for his nightly amble

Clouds of smoke, darkened the skies
Ash and soot, covered his clothing

The fires had finally begun to die
All he felt was his own self-loathing

He never thought this would happen

Though he seemed not to care

This house, filled with hatred and doom

Watching as embers, sparked and flared
From the window, of his very own room

Wondering if he was meant to be
Inside, when the fires ignited

Stepping back, from the heat of the flames
How could he have been so shortsighted?

I am not all I seem to be
Come closer and look
Tell me
What do you see?

Fire becomes
The air that I breathe
No longer human
I fight to sheathe

The changeling inside me
This indelicate being
Who has taken my soul
Forever unfreeing

Locked deep within
My heart now a flame
This battle she’s won
I can no longer reclaim

The life I once lived
No place, no name
The dragon has spoken
I’m the end of her game

Volatile Voracity – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

Fires flame the midnight sky

Lightning crashes, thunders by

Anger keeps her, at this pace

Feeds her hunger, in this place

Ravenous, the power exceeds

A turbulence, no one does need

Explosive, in her deadly task

Voracious, she unveils her mask

Fire flows from out her hands

Burns the ground, on which she stands

And she feels no heat, as the lava flows

For the night is, forever, in her throes

 

 

February Writing Prompt: Volatile Voracity – Day 28/28 Another month has flown by!! Looking forward to Michelle’s challenges for March! 🙂

I saw a shooting star tonight

Its light, o’er the Earth, did shine

A fire, blazing ever so bright

In the ebony sky, quite divine
