Dancing around the ring, glistening in the firelight,
I burned you, with my spark.
Seduced by my twirling skirts, you travel
To a place unintended.
***
Reveling in the affirming attention you display,
Arrogant, I kiss the truth at the edge,
Carefully enhancing the bitter blame
To hold you in my grasp;
***
Interpreting the illusion in the heat,
Only successful when you forget the dance,
Narrowing your focus to me - I lick the flame.
