Fire In A Fireplace {ZaniLa Rhyme}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Nov 25, 2006


Grasping in tales of forgotten woes,
Memories stand, they tire.
Rest absorbed in belligerent shows,
Sleeping through embers of fire.

Burning so brightly, thusly is Hell,
Moving, jumping, flickering.
Turning woes to calling, trailing songs,
Flames seem to be mocking, bickering.

Promenade within a song to your flames,
Enjoy sweet taste of ashes.
Rest absorbed in belligerent shows,
Warming rooms with flickering lashes.

Houses glow to warm a touching soul,
Moving pictures, fires burn.
Turning woes to calling, trailing songs,
Dancing waves, flickering flames hereby yearn.

    I absolutely love the title of this poem. I'm not sure why, it is just so vague but easy to find a hidden meaning in.

    The first stanza is definitely my favorite. It's not really a prelude to the poem, but it's a good beginning.

    The only things I don't like are the last two words. They seem a little out of place. But other than that, nice work.
