There is a fire I watch
Flames dance and flicker low
White, blue, green, golden orange, and violet
Reflections of setting suns in kaleidoscope swiftness
Moons rise like pearls scored by pens
The writing I cannot read though I recognize the hand.

The fire in her glows with her smile
Burning fire in her eyes and dancing on her tongue
Fingers flicker like sentient sparks pointing
The way on the sand melting through to captured shells or
That bit of water a prism for the sun
Allowing us to savor the gift in gratitude

Her fire is upon my skin; her touch searing me
Her hand presses into mine with casual deliberation
Soothing heat filling me when nothing else can
Green flames in her eyes promising, laughing
A line of sun catching her cheek as her lips close on mine
Sharing her fire that warms me forever.

Its heat does things
to the hollow insides,
calls forth an ancient ritual
from deep inside the muddled mind.
Flames lick the thick
afterglow of night,
sharpen the report
of a heartbeat dying.
It warms the flesh,
and tingles the brazen whims
of sex starved cannibals
pacing.
There is a quenching
in its presence
one cannot deny,
a thirst fulfilled
in sparks rising
to meet the northern lights.
Its circumference
becomes the place to dance
naked, sigh into
the blistering night divine.

Deep within the flame
I see the birth of creation...

Cleansing, purging
blue/white flames hide
the hottest core;
devil's orange/black masks
a cooler flame
licking, tickling, teasing
til you gratefully
succumb.

The breath that gives us life,
turns it's lusty hunger
into a raging appetite
that consumes the air,
killing itself in the process -
committing suicide to win.

Deep within the flame
I see the birth of creation...
and its end.

skin curling
then I wonder
how can pain be
so great, then I know

that life is filled with pain
and I want to be in bliss
please god give me relief
I beg for forgiveness and sigh

my skin curling and crackling
I beg for death and ecstasy
please give me relief
for I still love life

forgive me

No one watches shadows,
staring blindly into fire,
seeing only promising heat
and not the ashes to ashes.
Shall we burn together friend?
Let's crackle and cackle to flame.

here
Blue fire at its best
is you
burning cold
with red eyes
and green streak
embers smolder
under your care

Blue fire at its worst
is you
Heat, searing heat
melts my only escape
