Forged By Fire

Listen to poem:
Forged by fire, my burning heart
As the hammer pounds to shape
The sacrificial apatite of the gods
Within the delusory Dragons Den
And love hibernates in a Hellion hole

Where demons dine demanding death
A pernicious smell fouls the ambient air
The Hydra prepares to unleash her wrath
For love is mangled in the molded madness
Left to the ravaging ruins a statue appears.

Amazing poem, WW!:-) Too bad you didn't fix the misspelling of appetite. I would've placed this higher otherwise. Congratulations on your win!

Forgive me my friend...I should have left the meaning of this word which gets confused very often...my bad. ap·a·tite...noun-- Apatite is a calcium phosphate.It’s named for the Greek word ‘apatao’, which means to deceive. This is because it’s chemical composition almost imitates the chemical composition of many other stones.It is a stone of manifestation. It will show you how you can turn your ideas into reality and get the results that you desire.
