One with the fire




One with the fire

By the fires light I can hardly see my surroundings,
But by this I'm not bothered.
At night I gives me a sense of safety,
And in the cool air warmth.
It shows it's passion by nature, yet you still see lust in its consumption.
I sit and watch its endless dance.
Almost secretive it shows love in its moves.
I'm drawn in, my gaze uncontrollable,
I giving myself up to the flames.
Every flicker heightens my emotions,
Till I become one with fire.
