Fire

A spark awakes,

Fire flickering, taunting through the night,

With every evil lash, fire crackles higher, higher

Slithering like a sinister snake.

It holds death, fear and desire,

A flickering thing of golden wisdom, fire,

It holds harm in its hands,

Destroying life, love and lands

But if you look into those eyes of gold,

A thief of truth and love be told.

Like a big shark thrashing through the night

Burning, blazing, cackling bright

Flickers blaze without a care,

Lighting up the nighttime air

Ovens' breath swallows the night,

A big, burning bully high and bright,

Fire the beast that ate it all, fire now a blood-red wall.

But through all the despairing, catastrophic mess

Fire has eaten and gone, fire has stolen away with all that is left.
