Fire
short poems about fire, flames, candles, sparks, burning etc. must be clean, and child safe.
flames
I put a candle on my cake
and watched my new age
burn clean, flames that
swallow oxygen to protest
what has become of me
a rapid orange, licking
the air in an attempt to
show me where my soul
will end up if I'm not careful
burning down, the wax
a powerful testament
to what is melting
me from the inside out
a darkness remains,
reminding us
of when we laughed
into pastry that eventually
melts away after so many flames
