Analysis of MOLTEN FIRE

Molten fire
       flowing through my veins
Razor blades
          slash within my brain,
Burning fire-drops
                       seep to my fist
Searing up ‘long my arm
            from my fire-sown wrist.

Molten agony
              the pain flows on again
Lasting for hours
           I’d swear I’m half insane,
Agony intensifies
               as through my arm it flows
Till excrutiating agony is
                  the only thing I know.

Molten fire burning
         from my elbow to wrist
My hand is surely burning
             Too sore to form a fist,
Burning agony keeps
                   climbing to my brain
Burning like my vein’s afire
                   until I’m near-insane!
