Betrothed to the world as a lover's embrace.
To the withering of a sorrow place.
With the sky flickering in the night.
To a smell full of delight.
A burning sensation among our heart.
A crackling as it tears apart.
A bed of warmth lay underneath.
An aroma of peace is unsheathed.
A warmth feeling this embrace.
But a harsh touch should one face.
Distance is key to keep cozy and right.
As its' hunger feeds through the night.
The music it makes soothing as a harp,
Inhale a scent that can be sharp.
Relaxing near it, not only grants you heat.
As the flames of comfort provide an extraordinary treat.
About the Creator
Mark Shaw
I began writing lyrics and stories back in high school. Even went as far as publishing a poem online and it being in a book. As with film a picture can say a thousand words and show emotion, but audio triggers that emotion.
