Poet

The blazing fire
Crackling away, and drifting astray
The intense heat makes you perspire
Flames cascading higher
Ever changing and mesmerising shapes
Dancing through the cold evening air
Fluttering down are its unwanted sooten flakes
Silhouettes flicker in despair
Showing off with all its grace
Rich and vibrant it burns a bright
A beautiful mix of shadows and light

Arraying moving patterns centred around the pupil
As eyes still reflect the golden blaze
A pure and magical sparkle
A seductive red braze
A Soft and magical warmth
As eyes lock together
In a moment that could happily last forever
In silence, a wealth of words are exchanged
One facial expression enough
Vocals un-required for this moment in time
Assured and secure together
Just a single held glance
Becomes a brightly infectious trance
Arms embraced and heat shared
Hearts are meaningfully paired
Moments dreamed to last an eternity
To stop time would be divine

Aware nothing lasts forever
Smooth and rough we must endeavour
Dying down and spitting out darkness
Clouds becoming suffocating
Smoke engulfs your face
Unable to depart your gaze
Stepping back away you start to cough
Dark clouds pouring a vast
Bodies depart to loneliness
Reminiscent of moments from an immediate past
Eyes closed in desperation you grasp them back
Unable to release the emotion attached
Your sanity slowly being despatched
Bit by bit escaping your mind
Although to this you are thoroughly blind

Moving away into the cold
Droplets chill and shingle your spine
Desperately needing someone to hold
You shake and shiver
Withering away and becoming frail
Life becomes stagnant and stale
Unstable and surrounded in darkness
Unable to see the light
Seeing other smiles with spite
Unable to feel its warmth
Not daring enough to grasp a chance
To quiet and shy
Each time is next time you sigh
Visualizing being so bold
The lion sees his reflection
A mouse stares back in disgrace
He can’t bare to see his own face
But still he knows within beauty lies

The smoke begins to clear
But alone you stand in fear
A small flicker remains
A subtle yet hypnotising dance
Locked in your stance
Drawing inspiration from this small flame
It’s not big or bold
Yet more beautiful than pure gold
It captures you and keeps hold
Seeing that if you look hard enough
Beauty hides within the darkest of places
Within the ugliest of faces
