A flicker of a flame
Seemingly innocent
Dances discreetly
Disguising its intentions
Fooling with the beauty
Of its balletic movement
Rapidly the intensity
The energy soon
Becomes the enemy
A single dancer
Seemlessly joined
By a resilient partner
Cajoling others
To unite in the dance
Of destruction
An endless leaping chorus
Creates a frenetic
Fierce angry power
Consuming all
That dares to
Prevent its progression
A devastating finale
A woeful tragedy
A flicker of a flame
At first intoxicating
Knows no limits
Till it brings the final
Curtain down.
