She Looks At Fire

By Salena Muzawar


She is looking at that fire

Like its it's the most intriguing thing she's seen,

A smile forms and you wonder,

What in it, kept her so keen


But if you look more closely,

You'll see that it isn't exactly a smile,

Yes she's smiling, but not really,

Not at all, with her eyes


Her vision's so fixated on those flames,

Like she's searching deep within

Something she's lost,

Or maybe answers to her questions?


Her eyes are now watering,

You'd think it's probably all that smoke,

But maybe it's her answer,

And that, the fire finally spoke



You can tell that whatever she's feeling right now,

It's from the fire, and it isn't, warmth

For she's learnt that too much of it,

Has only burnt houses down


Suddenly, there came a gust of wind,

It's strength, that of a storm,

The fire that was burning, no more

Those flames had died down


She closes her eyes for that moment,

You'd think it's over, all done

But look again, and it's certain

She and the fire, have become one


Then teary eyed, now burning with fury

Her head for sure, has turned

Now someone decided to play with fire,

Are they, prepared to burn?
