I was poking around AD, came across some heartbreak poetry, started out to write a poem about survival,  but my poem took another route....I went all dramatic lol

S I N G E D
 
The fire spoke in tongues to me
Sliced the darkness, let me see
Brought me warmth beyond my skin
Scaled the boundaries built within
 
It was the hearth of sustenance
Burning flames of sweet incense
A spark as tiny as a seed
Enveloped me, with fevered speed
 
And there I stayed beside the flame
Consumed by light, with naught to blame
Forgotten now, were shadows past
For I glowed in the light at last
 
Until the fire spread it's touch
Dancing wild, swelling thrusts
Consuming all within it's reach
Burning greedily......for each
 
Now as the fire, grew and spread
Behind were coals left in it's stead
No wild dance, of amber lights
Just coals of black, lost in the night
