The Fire Within

This fire within me burns  Paints my insides with ash and soot  Makes acid of my tears  And makes charcoal teeth chatter.  My words are smoke  My eyes, burning embers  My laughter is the hissing of steam  The crackling of burning wood.  You started the fire  Fanned it to blazing  Till I breathed it  Became it  Loved it.  Now can you feel the heat?

I like the imagery, you have a fierce voice when you write.
