#fire poem

[daniel608]

Mother? Can you hear me? I turned the oven off I swear. The fire it wasnt my fault I promise. Mother? Please wake up, please. Open your eyes Mother. At least the pie is done.

Cinder

Like Sophie walking into Howl's moving castle, she came into my life unexpected.

She saw me, the little hard working fire that I am and smiled with such loving warmth.

All I had ever know was the coldness of rejection towards what made me, me.

I was told I burned too hot,

or not hot enough.

Maybe if I used a different fuel source,

Only then I would be worthy of being called a burning star.

But those who use to handle the matches would pile more on my weak embers and suffocate my light out.

Ignoring my pleas for oxygen.

Then, as I was about to extinguish,

She spoke 4 simple words....

"I like your spark" she said

so simple

so pure

Setting my dying embers ablaze again.

And that was enough for me to beam throughout the night sky.

[hymntothenight]

i am ignited, flames of fear lapping at my feet. i try to cry out, to ask for help but ash fills my mouth. bitter, much like my regard for myself. mind made of matches, i am my own arsonist.

[amomentwiser]

Forgive them, cause they know not

People who rage

Are fires,

burning within

Who don't know how to put them out

Or stop them

And they spread them,

Igniting each person they come across

But you can be the firebreak

Between that person and the next

Not risking your life to extinguish their fury

But too strong to burn.

Crackling Fire

Under the sky, as she weaves The clouds into lace    In the darkness    Of this place My eyes open and I wish I wish     the         Beautiful Lies    Would stay with me    Just for tonight But spinning and swriling    Whirling planets and stars    Out of line with the truth From horrorscopes Some '80s news paper    It's over for now    Back to this room Back to the lamplight that floods My eyes Forever gone in olbvion    Are those emerald eyes    Snap    crinkling paper     crackling fire Suddenly gone away    Back to this place    Back to the bronze lamp Back to the old dusty mirror Back to the memories that flood me    Of the people I wish I was Under the sky Wave upon wave of spring grace    Never alone, always lonely    Quotes I'll forget From the people in my mind Snap     crash     waves     fire Glowing, twinkling, roaring- bright I'm back here again    Stuck in this room    Like a butterfly    Ready to burst from a cacoon Crashing waves     Crackling fire    When the world Makes us liers

With ember eyes And a burning gaze, Kerosene lips And a firestarter tongue, You lit me up And swallowed me whole.
