I live in you

another one of my older poems

 

I live in you, yet you fear me

I breath your air to live

I eat, I consume, I have love for thee

I play with you, I have so much warmth to give

 

I run to you, I need what is yours

I climb so you can not hide

I jump over your barriers

I slither under your door to find you inside

 

I hurt those you love

I maim you, take parts that I do not need

I kill, for I am a beast

I create pain, it fills my needs

 

I fear nothing

I consume everything

I laugh at your anguish, your suffering, your pain

Come play with me, I have so much warmth to give

Author's Note

The beast that is Fire. It is a creature that is in desperate need of more respect. It is a living breathing creature and as such deserves the respect we afford to other living, wild creatures. We need to remember, just like a wild creature, Fire is not to be trusted, it is unpredictable.

All the elements should be afforded the respect given to the wild ones. This is so beautifully written and of course I love the twist in the mood and pace. Your talent really shows here. Blessed be love

WoW! THis is very powerful and show just how talented you are. It drew me in then spit me out again with the stroke of kindness and then the bitter anger. Very great write and excellent read!
