Fire Poem by Penni Currie

Fire

Rating: 5.0


The white hot pain of emptiness
that burns so deep within
The vortex of ever growing lonliness
crawling across the skin.

The red hot tear of anger
that sting behind the eyes
the feeling of growing restlessness
the pain i can't disguise.

The fire that burns within the soul
fuelled by unobtainable pleasure
knowing these things you cannot hold
cannot take at your leisure.
