Rings of fury rimmed her orbs
Mirroring amber blazing
Cinders flying across,
Snidely curve traced her lips,
Scornful fire burned every memory to crisp,
But one demented ember was it
Sneaked fiendful into the bush
Plotting an insidious smoulder,
to birth a deadly fire;
Step away from victory was she,
Found wrapped inside
Sweltering plumes of past,
Choking to sputter the life
Which she wouldn't relinquish,
without a fight;
Warrior was she
to try to put out with tears,
Knowing very little being never enough;
Finally capitulating no fear
Let the fiery hunger gnaw her whole,
Burning everything it beheld
Leaving the remnants behind,
Which bloomed unconditional love
and graceful kind.
