In the Heat of the Moment

I weave through blazing flames Fanning my scorching heart Spinning sparks attempt to tame Not even a gram of pain subsides All that is magical gone - my existence torched A helium filled heart taunting me Floating high escaping my grasp As the smoke clears I see His embers still burns for another All that is magical gone - my existence torched .

Silent One, I so appreciate your comment and concern. This is a fictional write. I tend to gravitate towards writing these types of poems. I try and imagine myself in different situations and write what emotions come to mind. Have a great day!
