Carol B. Poet Free verse

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 February 11, 2018 at 11:37 AM Sounds awful Carol, you described despair very well... Hope you are ok.. Nice to see you posting. Carol B. February 11, 2018 at 12:04 PM 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!
