Poem Title:
Poem
The butterflies in my soul They ignite my eyes. I'm breathless Yet I feel so alive. The scorching embers, oh how they burn But yet they feel so polite, As if a searing reminder That I'll be alright. I couldn't resist the fiery urge As I left this, ice cold world.. The hot coals became my host And lava errupted through my veins. I just couldn't quit gazing At the flickering flames.. The last piece of me, to decay, was my hand Oh how I forgot, how my fingers could bend I thought as I was waving myself goodbye To ever being human again Ashes, ashes, were all I could see As I saw myself falling And as I really listened I could still hear my heart calling Becoming a faint echo Confined to the shadows of my flames Banished, never to be re-kindled again Don't come to close Or we shall ignite, dear human I would combust and I'd eat you alive. Be aware, you must know That I, well.. I'm a devouring inferno. My heat reddens your face While the reflection of my ashes Dance like a wildfire in your eyes. The temptation leaves your thoughts up in smoke, But you kept coming closer I, flaring up with every word you spoke. Come closer, closer.. I let my flames spew. What happened to me Is why I'd like to set the fire to you How the flames burn brighter With not one, but two.. Your blood is heating up, come closer Enticing you in burning red I will light the fire inside your head And I wouldn't even need to dig your grave You could choose to entrap Yourself with me And be forever ablazed Ashes dancing in the fire pit Comforting you with their warm glow But trust me it's an abyss In which you wouldn't dare, want to go. Fellow lost soul, like I We've wandered there before Now forever to entice, just one more Come closer.. The shadow calls out a warning heed Beware all, beware indeed One flair, two flair You must look away! Don't hold a gaze Into the burning dead flames.
