All was still, there was no breeze
Perhaps the storm had vanished
No rustling sound, heard from the trees
Be gone, they said, you’re banished

The Devil’s Locomotive ~ #poetry #dark

They never knew, from where it came

Its fire blazed, remained untamed

Wheels that spun on rails of steel

Created madness, endless zeal

The Devil’s locomotive roared

As flames, under and over, soared

Left a trail of smoke and ash

An acrid smell, from evil’s clash

Of brethren lives, taken, in vain

To ride, forever, this demon train

Child of fire
Change has come
As you lie upon your bed
Embers glow
As wings unfold
And human skin is shed

Alluring in its mystery
The tales of fire’s truth
Intoxicating spirit
It claims a young girl’s youth

Child of fire
Sleep upon
Your bed now made of flame
A fiery heart
The dragon’s call
Whispering your name

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! 🙂

Blazing – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

Sparks, which ignite the fire, begin

With a simple raise of her hands

Answering, to the gods of flame

Bloodthirsty, their final demands

Darkness falls over, black is night

What’s left, is the flicker of a blaze

Seen from a distance, rising higher

This light, from the darkened haze

They urge her on, to her greatest feat

She conjures their greatest desire

Then leave her, languishing, in the heat

Of the flames, from her funeral pyre
