Toxic Inferno

Flames licked my flesh And kissed my brow Dancing from my fingertips Spiraling my body Issued from my soul Forming an aura A lovely little heat Burning the toxins That infiltrated my heart Cleansing the strings Everywhere the toxins burned And I danced with the flame Engulfed but enraptured When all is said and done When the flames have disappeared I shall stand anew Like the phoenix After toxic inferno
