Bonfire

Bonfire

throw in shame
shame does not scream -
no
it only moans

loneliness?
loneliness isolates
each flame
to devour itself

anger?
anger spits
flashes, fumes
and perishes in a hiss

hurt?
hurt, oh how it endures
suffers
and slowly deteoriates

despair?
it gives in
quick
and chokes

loss?
it blazes
brightly then
disappears

worry?
it unfurls into
a giant balloon
and busts

hatred?
it burns
in scorches
then suffocates

and if i toss in love ?
love does not burn the fire
and the fire
does not burn love
