the fire had struck the building with such force
no one whispered about survivors
the windy day blew the flames around
like trick candles on a cake

Stevie-thanks for the comments :) lots of times my poems have more than one meaning but I will leave the interpretation to the reader. :) Glad you enjoyed.
Stevie Taite(1/26/2013 8: 37: 00 AM) This gave me shivers Aria! Very vivid imagery. Did you mean to kind of make light of the whole incident by likening the fire to candles on a cake. I saw it as a real event that left strange markings on the pavement. But then on closer analysis, and by what is suggested to me in the final four lines, it was all a long metaphor of the death of love or something? Or was it just a much sadder version of seeing the image of Jesus on burnt toast! Clearly I enjoyed it as it made me think! X x

This is like a work of art. A masterpiece really. Excellent storytelling makes me feel like I'm there. This poem makes such an impact that you feel as though the events are in slow motion- and then time stops as they 'read her inscription'. And the ending is perfect. Remembering even as you struggle to forget. Relatable.
