Playing With Fire

In the hearth of my Heart there burns a torch,
While a furnace blasts inside my brain
A stove on which my Soul is scorched-
Pyre that kindles in dying flames

No Hell is hotter than my ire-
A searing heat, charring desire
Glowing embers, the blaze I enter
(Nothing more could fuel my fire!)

Joseph Matose Date: 9/26/2013 12:14:00 PM YOU GOTTA STOP PLAYING WITH FIRE! THIS FIRE IS REALLY HOT! WHAT A CLEAR DESCRIPTION OF IRE. HOPE NOBODY KINDLED YOUR IRE! JM Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 9/26/2013 2:05:00 PM I had a fit of rage just yesterday, which is what inspired this piece. I'm a lunatic when I'm that angry. I'm happy to hear that you think the description of ire is clear. I appreciate the read and review :)
