Iridescent hues dangerously,
lick at my imagination,
as it rages before me.
Sending spires of smoke,
spiraling towards the heavens.
Tempting my mind to wonder and wander.
Seducing me from the shadows,
illuminated effortlessly.
Subtle haunting tones,
echo from it's essence,
subduing existence upon it's touch.
Oh beautiful beast of consumption,
how I long to tame thee.
