Fire

Fire

alone outside in the dark
the beautiful stars twinkling above me
a dying fire in front of me
it is January but tonight it feels like March
the embers look like they are breathing
in and out
light and dark
i never knew fire could be so calming
some people think of it as nothing but destruction
when it all depends on the person
if you let a fire go wild
then it will bring destruction
but if you keep the fire calm
then it could be very calming
the same goes for love
so the question is
will you let the fire run wild
or will you keep the fire calm?

Great verse, dark and playful, touched with a hint of romance and personality. Quite an inspiring piece.

Very nice:). I love this poem, different from something I'd write. It made me smile. It's also important to not let the fire die out.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
