Staring at the coals Watching as they change colors And burn into nothing Enchants me I can't tear my eyes away From the bright flashes Of orange Licking and tasting the wood It craves to devour Smoke rises Effortlessly Into the night sky Shivering Moving closer But not too close For though its flames mesmerize They can inflict pain And ****** the breath from my body So much suffering can come from Trusting Fire

The Danger in Beauty
Staring at the coals Watching as they change colors And burn into nothing Enchants me I can't tear my eyes away From the bright flashes Of orange Licking and tasting the wood It craves to devour Smoke rises Effortlessly Into the night sky Shivering Moving closer But not too close For though its flames mesmerize They can inflict pain And ****** the breath from my body So much suffering can come from Trusting Fire
