PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

halt the flickerous flame
startled hot
the coals doth bring
sparks that wildly lash out
from the careless kindle
all edges and glow
with their cinders dancing
to a murderous theme
stomp the burning rug
quick
bring me another match
for that pail of still water
in the eerie corner
makes me nervous to strike
yet truly luminous shall be
the billow
halt the flickerous flame
I damn sure will not
seething more so NOT
in such shadowed shame
I will feed it further
flint and sulfate
as all eyes mirror
its 'Delivery'
from the counterfeit claim...........
