I dreamt of fire last night,
my house was burning.
Self-destruction was rank,
the air heavy with it.
The soot, the ashes of my dreams I had finally burned away.
I dreamt of fire last night,
my love was burning.
Her body caught by believers,
those who prayed against us.
Cannibals hungrily devouring a fallen one of their own.
I dreamt of fire last night,
my life was burning.
All the overplayed achievements,
all the carefully constructed deceptions.
My closeted demons escaped and danced gleefully in the flames.
I dreamt of fire last night,
my lies were burning.
No longer contained,
in the dark confines of my mind.
No longer slipping along the smoothness of my tongue.
I dreamt of fire last night,
my heart was burning.
Faith shriveled and dry,
lost in the heat of hatred.
Self confidence peeling off like layers of burnt skin.
I dreamt of fire last night,
my soul was burning.
Her empty spun sugar shell beautiful now,
the flames licking through it.
Like glass, melting before burning, she was swept away on the wind.
I dreamt of fire last night,
I was burning.
Flayed and bleeding,
wrists nailed to the cross.
The heretic witch speared in the whirlwind of flame.

LeBrozabout 17 years agoThis image is horrid; to read I did the simple thing & put it to paint set to 200% and inverted the colors. Now I could read it. Very well done ~ pity you couldn't fix it yourself.; but then perhaps there were limitations here with what Lit could handle...
duddle146over 17 years agoAside from the text being so small as to render it almost unreadable ~ this poem was interesting in that the first line of each stanza started with the words, "I dreamt of fire last night...Illustration had lovely color.
Jennifer Calmost 19 years agothe txt was a little small
and hard to read in places
but the poem was excellent
and i look forward to re reading
it.
Good effort.

impressivealmost 19 years ago... so I saved the image to disk & enlarged it. I like what you've done with it since the early versions on the Poetry Forum. Well done, sugar! ~Imp
Sabina_Tolchovskyalmost 19 years agoyou poem, from what I could read sounded great but the font is way to small. I could only make out about half of the text...very frustrating because I think the poem was excellent. Perhaps you should post it again later in larger font so it can be apperciated properly. ~S
