She shot only once, to unleash the hell

Of flaming arrows, on those who dwell

Upon the grounds, so sacred, pure

Now laid in ruins, and left obscure

To all who dreamt, of life, ideal

A vision of beauty, life surreal

Came crashing down, among the brave

Sending them, to an early grave

Abolishing demons, was their plight

Saving others, they dared to fight

Where once there stood, quite profound

Their paradise, burning, to the ground

A wasteland, on which the earth, now shook

One simple arrow, was all it took

Autumn’s nighttime glow

Soothes, as sun’s flame bids farewell

Igniting the sky

Mistress of the Flame ~ #dark #poetry

She dances with the fire

A mistress of the flame

Where some must go, to find her

Yet, no one knows her name

She swirls about, like smoke

She is kindled from the ashes

And she’ll burn you, this is certain

With each spark, her power flashes

Her mystery, kept hidden

Her secrets, safe within this place

The spirit, who feeds on fire

Is the girl, who has no face

 

Author’s Note:  Have you ever looked into a fire and wondered what it was you saw?  There are always fire spirits present.  Can you see her cloak?   😉

Flames of the Devil ~ #dark #poetry

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
