Consumed by Insatiable Flames

A Poem by Kelly W. Patterson
Entrancing memories within the mist
Once banished darkness from the sky
But now their luminous glow is fading
That sun is dying; leaving only the night
The view is so murky beyond the vapors
Yet the world has drastically changed
Shadowy, familiar feelings return again
Ushered forth by dark nameless wraiths
Mournful inspirations spark new fires
Taking their own place before the mist
Destroying a remorseful heart's dreams
Illuminating sad faces within the mirror
Light that once heralded bright days
Sweeps across everything remorselessly
An unquenchable heat that won't relent
Consumes all the burning flame touches
