She Finds

By vicimineo

She sits staring at a fire....
Letting its warmth engulf her...
And she...is mesmerized...
Her eyes dancing along..
With the cunningly wicked....
Intoxicating flames....

â€‹As they writhe seductively...
Drawing her further in...
â€‹She...finds doubt...
â€‹ As it always does...
fear consumes her...

Fear of pain...
â€‹ Fear of pleasure...
That she...afraid to lose...
Finds it is easier...
Not to feel...

She begins to withdraw...
But wait...
Hiding there...
Within the flame...
Reflecting in her eyes...
She...
Finds strength.

I've always found my anger when looking into a flame, and only once or twice weak seduction. Maybe if I look close enough next time, and stare longer, I'll find the strength. This was beautifully written.
