blaze. burn.
blister. scream.
smother. smoke.
scorch to stoke.
smoulder.

All about fire one of the four basic elements associated with energy, assertiveness and passion. Can tell you from first hand experience Tristan that fire did not do that for me when I set myself on fire. Maybe the energy to roll around on the ground trying to put it out it certainly did not make me more passionate as all the skin peeled off and the sting made touch unbearable. This poem brought back memories of a rather difficult time.
Rather a serious write, however brief it were. Well-done. A fave, my dear friend!
Popeye getting a bit 'hot'?! heehee. But why? WCAT.
Definitely.
