In Fire

PreviousNext
as hot as summer
as cold as winter
entering our life
with a sudden lie
that it will be near
that it will burn our souls
forever in our arms
even if we don't want it to be any closer
it will always be watching us
through it's perceptive eyes
with a haunting, terrifying lie
that it will never leave us alone
the one person who decieves us
the one who loves us
and the one who will always care for us
even when we are no longer alive

Your work needed a second review, so, here you go!

I really like how you've described fire in your poem. In spit of the apparent lack of structure, I think you're poem is well-worded.

Here, I have broken up your poem in a way that makes more sense to me:

as hot as summer
as cold as winter
entering our life
with a sudden lie
that it will be near
that it will burn
our souls forever
in our arms even
if we don't want it
to be any closer it
will always be watching us
through it's perceptive eyes
with a haunting, terrifying lie
that it will never leave us alone
the one person who deceives us
the one who loves us
and the one who will always
care for us even when
we are no longer alive


Have a nice [*insert time of day here*]!!!

The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy.
