Fire Poem by Joseph Cross

Burning, writhing, twisted in pain,
Flesh melts, and hair is ash,
Spreading far across the plain,
Cutting a great fiery gash.

Insanity spreads through my mind,
As I am consumed in burning heat,
My skin becoming brown and cracked,
Glowing and suffering from head to feet.

The body leaves nothing, flesh nor bone.
My life is floating amongst the smoke.
Fumes in flames, no truth is shown,
Air to make the strongest choke.
