Burning Into Ashes

Smoke, filling the air.

Heat rising from my feet.

It finds its way up my ankles,

Wrapping around my legs.

The tips of the flames start to lick my chest,

Like a hot caress they spread up my neck;

Inferno brushes my lips like a passionate kiss,

Flames taste like gasoline and ash.

Then my vision goes red,

The smell of smoke filling me up.

My consciousness slips in and out,

I can suddenly feel the burning sensation I was missing.

I would scream out, but the fire has turned my throat to a char.

As I reached out to touch something, I realized my body was falling apart too.

Just like my heart had my body turned to ashes.

Never to be seen again.
