emotionally yours

i see a few changes in this stanza:

it kills emotions of one from within
as sparks
a lightening fire bringS
and then suffice it to say
ashes all the way

sparks die without and within

the poet was
they say
an emotional one

I would add the "s" to bring, make the one line its own as it has enough weight, and omit "gone with the wind" as it is not only the line by Earnest Dawson but the reader will have immediate thought and distraction of the book/movie, one of the most seen movies of all time. The line might be replaced, or to me, I like the end as is...

..

Your poem intrigues me. I like the ironic twist at the end which converts the whole poem into an extended metaphor.
