Conflagration

 

Embers set

ablaze dried up

kindling thoughts.

Fan the fire add

fuel to the flames.

Stand at your altar

and preach.

I'll take my pew.

See the skin bubbling,

It's what you want to do.

Torture me. Brand me.

I'll sit whist the lava spews.

 

Conflagration.

Come, join the congregation

in celebration.

Worship the flames

they burn me in,

as they combust around

warping skin.

Smash the temple,

crush the idols.

No pedestal, but

A pyre of lies

they place me on.

Watch as the flames rise,

licking my eyes.

 

In this sea of flames,

inferno of hate, I'll bide my time.

Feeling the sparks.

Stinging heat pain.

You can sear my skin

until I am crying,

boiling tears like rain,

but you can't take my smile.

Never again.

 

Rouse the flames,

watch them intensify.

Spurred on I'll spread the embers,

cause a secondary conflagration,

I'll glow and flare,

I'll spread

my wings and fly.

Higher than

the other creatures in the sky.

I'll burn like the sun

for all to see,

even the pheonix will

hide their eyes from me.
