Fire

A super short poem -- especially by my standards.

Fire

Black beating hearts set all afire.

The water comes blaring down,

But it does not suffice.

 

"It's dead." I say;

I do not care.

 

It still beats and bears weight.

I must be alive.

Twangs of pain

Sharpened by spikes!

That is the real fire...

 

Be careful --

When you feel that spark --

That I, myself, did ignite.

"That is the real fire...



Be careful --

When you feel that spark --

That I, myself, did ignite."

A real fire and a real well written poem...:).....................
