The fires - FWE (CAFW) And WWE - 5/16/12...

The fear of fires

raging within

screeching of tires;

soon the burnings will begin

the car screeches to a halt

then spirals over the hill

landing in a heap

I can no longer weep

my lungs soon to fill

with the fires raging within

bones snapped and smashed

flesh ripping from being slashed

the smell of gas strong

the fires finally take me

and I think ...

I was dead all along

That definitely would be horrific, Pri.

Thanks for sharing with Highway Disasters at the Triple Name Club.

Glad it was fiction, now that I've read it back to myself, it scares even me!

Wow Priya, I hope you are OK! That was intense.

Now featured at The Surreal Circus.

Priya P. May 22, 2012, 12:13am UTC

Yikes, Priya! You sure can paint pictures with your writing. Gull durnit, you're good.

Priya P. May 21, 2012, 11:13pm UTC

:) thanks Pam, I wanted to do something dark or scary or both. Something fiction and not my norm

Pam Brittain May 22, 2012, 4:25pm UTC

Dark poem, Priya...I can just imagine it...it only takes a split second to have a crash course in horror up close and personal...
God forbid this ever comes true...

Thank you submitting to Gathers Luminous Writers and Artists.

Priya P. May 21, 2012, 11:11pm UTC

No it will not Stephen. It's just my effort to dabble in the darker side of fiction. Now I'll write something drippingly sweet :)

stephen berwaldt May 21, 2012, 11:19pm UTC

something to make the heart race...your specialty... :)

Priya P. May 22, 2012, 12:14am UTC

Is this a metaphor? It's beautiful and powerful. Great ending. Thanks for sharing with Depression and Creativity!
