Flame Thrower

Image removed.

 

 

As I wade through
The reflecting pools of life
 I hear them whisper
Behind wicked grins

"She is the firestarter."
 
I merely smile
As sparks fall from my
Fierce red hair
And flames kiss the
Tips of my fingers

"Would someone as sweet as
 I take you down in flames?"

Watch me smile as my eyes light up
I am pondering
Who of these Will it be?
Who will I Overcome this night?

After all I am The Firestarter

The hardest thing to teach a

The hardest thing to teach a child is not to play with fire - it holds such hypnotic fascination. It is a primal urge. Adults, like me I'm sure, are no less susceptible - or maybe fail to see [or do not wish to see] beyond the dainty mask. Mike Me: 30s

fire in the core

it warms, betters life, and in misuse destroys more than any other force... this is a truth i know all too well...yet my core still burns "For every shadow, no matter it's depth, is threatened by the morning's light..." <3 Emarie

Don't know if it's related or not...

But Steven King's "Firestarter" was an outstanding book. Pyrokenesis is awesome, and it's a talent I wish I had! Cool write, Emarie. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"If your mother still drives you to school, you ain't no 'gangsta', pull your damn pants up!" - Bill Engvall
