Trope Driven Fire
Online profile read
Want someone
To light fire
Am guessing always been
A trait wanted in a mate
Has anybody been able
To do that yet?
Fire cannot be had
Way too hot
Requires swift action
Will consume you
If given half-a-chance
Swallow you whole
Spit you out
Looking different
Than ever before
Blackened, desperate
To resemble self again
Fire, instinctively
By nature is action
Ignition required
Movement inspired
Me too required
Trope delivered
Escape almost futile
Movement must be greater
To escape burning ravages
Many to their demise
Not realizing
The power within
Slow to heed signals
That Voice within
Papers read,
"Burned beyond recognition
Died shortly thereafter
Went down in flames
Living in head
Where nothing is real
Except fake escape.
Charred remains left
No one to blame."
