Playing With Fire

Playing with fire

...like night magicians
playing with fire till dawn
needn't tell but crowd
masquerades seeking sources
to revitalize their wands.


For: Poet Destroyer's "Playing With Fire" contest.

Abdulhafeez Oyewole Date: 11/26/2013 10:31:00 PM Line 5 is synonymous with saying "to redeem their magic wands". Perhaps collocates? But I prefer using the former here. Thanks for being there. Login to Reply
