Beauties TouchA Poem by Olive Belikov
I stare, watching, wondering, gazing
into the thick, lively fire that sits in front of me. Staring as the flames lick the open air, burning the life away. Gazing as they dance like spirits on a sunburst morning bay; singing their soulfully beautiful songs, and spinning in circles of amber light. Wondering how it’s possible for something so compelling to be so utterly ruthless; drawing you closer only to burn without regret. Watching as my hand inches closer, being driven by the spirits music and laughter. They call to me, speak to me, whisper my name. Come they say, into the light of life. They tweak my mind until my hand reaches closer, knowing no boundaries, seeing no limits. But I find that even when it’s beauty calling, you can still be burnt by beauties touch. © 2012 Olive BelikovAuthor's Note
