floating

a poem?

Flames
Taking over the beautiful scenery: forest and wild strawberries.
Red-orange-yellow tongues
Burning down the room you lock yourself up, along with your exit door.
Blazes
Destroying your elsewhere village.

Smell of burned dreams and meadows.

Pieces of images, ideas, emotions, sensations and cries
Vanishing in the destructive power of your own common sense.

Shades of what seemed to be
Barely seen in the smoke.
Three of your favorite colors kissing
The true you.
Playing a sweet symphony
Of a familiar violin crackling in a friendly tune.

Breathe.
Absorb Oxygen needed to function,
Kick out carbon dioxide.
A chain reaction that leads towards calamity.

Oxygen needed to start a fire,
Carbon dioxide kicked because it could stop it.

Take your nightmares’ breaths.
Throw yourself in rising flames.

Deal with it.

That's wonderfully written, I'd say. [The Clown adds a few claps to the broth]
