You can taste a lick of a chill 
tickling your nerves as you inhale 
the smoky stench of terror’s scream in the air.

A responsible person would stay until the end of the bonfire.
I go inside and take a nap.
Knowing who is in charge.
Faith trumps responsible every time.

She Must of Been a Bonfire

She must of been,
 a bonfire,
The way the drifters,
Drifted,
To her love,
And the warm dress,
Of her ethereal,
embers,
Upon,
The golden shore

Flame swirls in bonfire
Feet waltz flies ash near and far
Strange shapes of shadows appear.
The bodies lose light
Fire gets lost within bright
Silhouettes dance in delight.

she sparkled, popped and snapped like a bonfire

Fawke's Night Farewell, a Vignette

Nights end,
Fireworks all spent
Bonfire dies down
Embers glowing softly
As fond thoughts of the evening
Warm the heart

In this cruel world full of insanity, fueled by selfishness and greed, you could lose your life if you want more than you need by burning in a bonfire of your vanity.

Premium Member partying is different now

partying
back in the day
meant graduation, birthday, wedding
or Tupperware

today
I think partying means drinking
a bonfire
it seems to be more common now
no more Tupperware parties though
