Fire-FeedingA Poem by Patrick O'BoyleStreamed words from my lips...From paper, to embers, to air
I feed the flames with words unspoken,
And give the embers hope. Sighing and coughing it slowly burns itself dry, Cursing damnation upon its first spark. I hear their howling through the chimney, The tired screams that strayed from the mind. Foregone irrelevancies that waltzed onto paper, Only to shrivel in this self-immolation. Regret seemingly radiates such warmth, Simultaneously making worlds convulse. Their caustic final breaths, Fire-feeding. © 2015 Patrick O'BoyleAuthor's Note
