Shoes On Fire

Artists temperment afire
never to doubt truth

as one walks his own reality
on not a tightrope of life

but down a road paved with kaliedoscopic colors
flambouyance and brilliance so hot

red, red roses being melted by fire
blending and melding into the sun

as the blue flaming center
is escorted to the blue sky

by a ball of energy wearing a flaming red dress
and wearing blue velvet shoes, decorated in silver hues

Golden orbs of light spray out into the universe
as the artist paints a picture of internal combustion

and calls it Inflamed
as two lovers die of their own passions
