Inferno
It consumes
A flash burning
Scarlet white
Ardent Heat
Radiant within starless obscurity
Incinerating
Entirely all within its grasp
Flowing away on heat waves
Carrying off
Embers aglow
Pluming skyward
Ever higher
Where the convergence is complete
And then upon
The approach of daybreak
Where flames burn low and blue
Cooling
The ashes left behind
Are
Two embering and cindered lovers
