Agni

A blue core at war with orange arms

The power that gives form to metals and charms

Eyes like black holes, like ashes in the heat 

Raging in victory and in defeat

A body of yellow and tresses of red

Burning in every cruel word ever said

The cause of one's rise and the other's fall

Loved by many and feared by all

The lady with the eternal dancing flame

Having people tremble on mention of her name

A mystic heat with a light for them to see

The goddess of sacrificial fire - Agni

Author's Note

In the early Vedic age, people worshipped the fire goddess Agni. Lets just say this is the result of studying too much :P

Fire is to be respected and not abused. Nice job and Agni is lovely but very vengeful.

Very interesting. I wonder if gods exist. .
(I was debating with a friend some few hours ago about gods.I told him men didnt event gods,i argued that men are not that stupid to carve something and start worshiping it.There must be a good reason behind all that.
