Inferno

It consumes
A flash burning
Scarlet white
Ardent Heat
Radiant within

Starless obscurity

Incinerating
Entirely all within its grasp

Flowing away

On heat waves

Carrying off
Embers aglow
Pluming skyward

Ever higher
Where the convergence is complete
And then upon
The approach of daybreak
Where flames burn

Low and blue

Cooling

The ashes left behind

Two embering

Cindered lovers

Enjoyed reading...the candle of passion becomes ashes in the dawn...nicely done...Rose

[emmajoy]

A rage of emotion in this, immense power in virtually every line, a fierce bliss, each flame engulfing another until finally the passion subsides, fades, dies, gone, over, ended .. or not. 'Pluming skyward ~ Ever higher ~ Where the convergence is complete.'

a wonderful write here.

[Leslie Philibert]

A fine poem with imagist energy and a great tempo, good write.
