Quote Me a Rumi

My chest falls from the swell as my breath growls and rushes to exhale
   
   Blueblood runs through my veins while with a sudden flash I can bestow the pain

   Martyr I am not but with a rumbling and roar I can strike with a shot

   Clouds will part with the darkest of black for when I am silent I will attack

   My ruby red lips with a spark at the tip will flare up and jolt like a whip

  So reverberate and respect me or feel the pulsate of my flame
  for upon your body I will spurt blisters and show the world your shame.

What a wonderful comment Lady Cheri! Now in real life I'm really a very kind hearted person. The picture she had in the contest just makes it look to me as if you are alone but with a great power if needed.
