Dedicated to all those fire lovers out there.  fire is a beauty.  Don't hate it.

It crackles,

snaps.

pops,

roars.

It's red,

orange,

yellow,

bright.

The flames dance,

filling you with wonder,

 and joy.

Hypnotizing,

you don't want to look away,

not even when it bites.

The heat feels good,

until you get too close.

The bite makes you wonder,

how.

It races up your arms,

licking at your face.

You don't stop it,

until it's too late.

Fire holds a beauty,

fire is delightful,

fire is salvation.

Burn, burn,

you want to tell it. 

But you just laugh,

at the tickling of it's tongue.

I love fire, but right now,

it's burning me up inside.
