Burning Ember
Burning ember in dark orange
Glowing against a night sky
Watch the fire burn
Intensity generated by twisting flame
Smoke like spirit rising to heaven
Fire burns
Fire steals
It throws but one ember
Carried by the wind
Falling at my feet
And another, and another, and another
Reminding me that in an eye's twinkle
Life's gifts are oft snatched by the smallest intruder
What feeds you orange foe?
Is it the night air that causes
Molten hands to reach for the stars?
You are angry
A tempest that cannot be tamed
Hot storm reigning through the night
You burn
You dance
The tango of the inferno
Reminding me that in an eye's twinkle
Life's gifts are oft snatched by a partner cruel.
