Into The Blaze

Her eyes simmered like charcoals,

I spotted it instantly.

Once she entered the doorway

Her fiery stare

Engulfed the mood.

My heart began to sizzle,

I could hear it

POP! and FIZZ!

Frying on the grill.

She gripped her green handbag,

Slung over her arm like a traveler.

Her legs, a sharp V in the doorway,
Clearly scorched her surroundings.

Or, I felt like a hooked fish

Squirming and tossing about,

No vacant water available.

Her lips never faltered

From an unwavering smirk

And her smoldering orange hair

Gave off an invisible smoke

I swallowed in desperation.

As she glanced my way
I knew I was done for.

It was perfect arson

Because she was setting fire

To everything she saw,

Burning it to ash,

And in that coursing blaze,

I fell to my knees.
