Burning

Does every poem have to have a point? For this poem, you read it and decide the point :)

Elusive fire, burning bright

Swallow all with fearsome might. 

 

Dancing shadows, playfully swirl

Cold, dark fingers, gently uncurl.

 

Caressing my cheek, it pulls in me 

Swallowing fears, making me thin.

 

I'm nothing now, nought but a dream, 

Fallen apart, fell through the seams, 

 

Escape this dungeon, this hungry hole,

Steal back lives, make them whole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

There is no point, once again, so no need for angry words

very nice. There is a point here. This is a depiction. Its the same as any abstract painting,
except you decided to use words. I can feel the warmth. The choice of words you used to
set the imagery was great.

You don't need a point or understanding here in my opinion. This poem explains itself, as i feel as if the fire is actually relieving your of fear and lifes problems. Just watch the flame grow, truly showing us a sight that is passionate and bright. Nice poem here.

good stuff, and i agree that there needn't be a point
