fires:
flames
feathers
flickerings;
forbidden gods
fallen in softness
in between circles
of whispering curtains
curls as the sun weeps
the breath of red tongues
such permanent horrors curl
of eyes, of dreams, of mystery
misted in the fires of mouths wet,
burning for the pleasures of agony;
what pleasures these blazing shapes
twist
like hours mangled in no man's caves
the soul's within becoming serpents,
snakes for the healing; downward
thick whisps of crawling steam
glare of smouldering orange
rains, to drink of floating
virginal swords, fevered
of deep visions flared
the body swollen
falls, falls, falls
down depths
blackness
pains en
dlessly,
silent:
born;

splashes;
into this searing reality
seperate as dreams suffering
 sins to change of eyes
in a luminous
season's
seed

this literally gave me a feeling of moving and flowing within a fire. To be spun and tossed along the words with emotions flying, then quitely left poured out exhausted on the floor. Excellent

Fire is a most fascinating element and can compare to any emotion or act that requires a passion for something...the structure (and actual shape) very original, I like it *~seraph~*
