haywoods - you are fire

You are fire
And you burn
You bring heat
But you bring chaos
And so easily you spread
to the next obliging kindling that will catch
Igniting so brightly
That we can't help but stare
And be charmed
As you crackle and spark
With such enchanting, enticing danger
But you're weak
To the fleeting passing whims of the cool wind
And yet still you burn
You burn through our atmosphere
Feeding off our oxygen
As you flicker and dance so gracefully through the night
Quietly weakening the structure that holds you
And that fuels you as you grow ever stronger
Until it's more that we don't dare look away
Ever taller, ever brighter
Until you tower high
Until you roar with primal power
And were just primitive creatures
Gazing in wonder
And caught in your spell
Willing to act on our basest instincts
Then quickly as you ignited
You fade
Leaving nothing but a charred frame
Lying among the dying embers of half remembered passion
Weaker than it was before it held you
When you end
