Chucking the little black nuggets onto the embers of the fire and soon they burst into flame

Outputting more heat to warm up the chilly cabin

And to think people called him a dinosaur when he burnt his favorite fuel

Look, he was just freeing his spiritual ancestors’ souls in exchange for warmth

Fire climbing high into the sky

Lighting her eyes in a way that was magical

And the image made his heart skip a beat

Maybe that’s why it didn’t hurt as much

Even as the knife plunged deep into his chest

Cussing like a drunken sailor that stubbed his toe on the anchor chain of some 18^th century Caribbean pirate boat

Rachel made all of the people around her blush almost redder than her flame colored locks

All anyone thought of the diminutive woman was how cute and childlike she was

So when she showed her ability to adult like some of the most depraved adults that ever adulted

So many people swore they never saw it coming.

Building the fire of passion

Until his creativity ignited

Raced to finish it before that flame went out

Not noticing he got too close and now he hurts

Flame (an acrostic poem)

Fingering her necklace, Carrie looked at how Jen kissed John

Lingering feelings of those lips ghosted on Carrie’s

All Carrie wanted to do was go down there and slap John across the face

Make him realize he had crossed the line

Even if Carrie was the one who broke up with Jen
