Feel the fire licking my face.
Teeth grinding,
Muscles taught.
Go ahead,
Push your luck.
I'll finish whatever you start.
Fists clenched,
I can see you now,
Dancing in the fire in my eyes.
Strike that match,
Watch it burn.
But please don't be surprised.
It's not a short fuse,
A little burn
A quick explosion.
It's an inferno,
From a tiny spark,
The fire keeps on going.
Fiercely out of control,
Lashing out,
Consuming all in it's haze.
You've lit the fire,
Now you'll be burned,
By the raging blaze.

very nicely done! I like the way your poem rhymes, yet you were still able to use imagery to describe your emotion! You described your emotion well, without using the actual emotion. Your flow is great, your word use very effective!
Very well done!
