Shayne Dowell Aug 2013
At the first meeting of a boy and a girl, the slumbering embers had been awoken
With words and glances, dancing light burst forth
As time passed, sparks ignited and the flickering flame grew
It fed on youth and the new
Soon sorrows and grief were thrown to the heart
But nothing could quench their hunger and thirst
It was a forceful blaze and the crowds watched in awe at the waves and the haze
Passion consumed the two beings with growing intensity
The inferno cast out a howling roar, with the duo of hearts desperate for more
Each moment they were parted, the sensations were sorely missed
In their minds eye they were still embraced in a kiss
It was the marriage of peace and the striking power of the storm
They were stirred by restlessness as their minds were bent with longing
As this love of fire matured in its age, it feasted on the beauty surrounding
The letters of the great poets,
The words of the countless tomes,
The sound of stunning chords,
The eye alluring views of artistry,
And the words from the Giver of Life
Nothing escaped consumption
But soon, they were tired of the old ways
The beauty of the world was not enough to feed the furnace
They left the face of the earth in search of new waters, and left the air far behind
The love fire danced among celestial bodies, and spaces of dreams
And so it does evermore, awaiting new creation

Lies ooze from between



The cracks of your teeth



Birthing the offspring of which



You love and nourish to perfection





And like a mother on ******



You train them to claw and tear



At the royal chambers of



My dignity and integrity





Charring them with a firesong



Of a pretentious backstabber



Who feeds relentlessly on fear



And lusts passionately for revenge





From a dead end corner



You watch me bleed



To the massacres



Erupting from the core





Of the futile weapons



Within the threat



Of your possession





For every bullet ejected



A shadow of your own fear



Is cast upon the victims



Of which you endanger





Like an airborne epidemic on a mission



To make prey out of future targets



Yet without a care you talk and write



Your snide ******* from behind steel barriers





Of anger and misconception



When really you are the lie



Promoting the anger that



Distributes an adrenaline rush



Identified as a vile threat



To the face of humanity
