Eyes of Fire
Staring out of dancing flames
The Salamander's eyes glow red,
His head is flat and serpentine;
Stare back at him you're dead.

The New Phoenix
The Phoenix springs from sullen ash,
The embers still protesting;
The terrible fire that took its life,
Now a blaze caressing.
Or is it elephants...?

Elements
I do not like the water,
I do not like the rain;
I do not like the earth and fire,
And air gives me a pain.
Such thinking of the elements
Gives me cerebral drain.
Nature's Elements as Images...

Words
It must be true,
You said it twice.
The first was Fire,
The second Ice.
I heard the words
Inside my head:
--Fire and Ice--
Each leaves you dead.
The fascination with fire...

Burning, Burning
Fire in the chiminea
Dances out the stack
Like a Demon on an iron chain
Set free and yet held back.
