Image for the poem Searing Pacifier

Searing Pacifier

The blue flame held against the flesh,
a searing pacifier,  
to soothe the blaze within
that melts the soul.
Like dousing a fire with another.
 
Tears could no longer pacify the pain
the way this burning candle did.  
Hoping it leaves a stain  
to last like a stamp,
a tribute to the internal scorch.
