Flame

To feel the heat against my skin 
To fuel the fire that is within
A burning sensation blown by the wind
A raging desire outward-in

Burning flames from the ground
Consuming all that is around
Silence-nothing there is no sound
Everything lost; nothing can be found

Leaping fire all through the night
Inside-out; nothing in sight
Darkness; cannot see the light
Fires within; holding me tight
