Flame, Bara, dan Bunga

Flame -
First there is darkness.
In this world full of hope and mystery.
The sun beckons.
A fundamental element.
That bask the Earth With all its glory.

Burning flames.
A highly complex object with intricate moving sections.
Dependent on one another creating dance like a motion.
A dictation of nature adopting and organic outlook.
Non-restricted by human laws.
Separating light from darkness.

At your infant you light up lives.
At your inferno you claim lives.
The highest visible order,
stoking your way into the heart of man.

Foe to the untrained mind.
A glare to intimidate.
Anger that justify fights.
Burning age that kills.
And war across the nations.

The fire knows neither limit nor itself.
A burning hell in this world.
All apostles seek to eliminate this suffering.
Yet to end up in a vicious cycle.
Bombs rain from the sky.
Blood spelt on the streets.
Tears from heavens could not drown this misery.
The element to comfort had been abused by mankind.
No end is in sight.

Yet at the height of its furry.
Some tenderness survives.
A classic expression of vehement emotion.
Launching, inspiring and triggering.
Man to the peak of his creation.
Firing up imaginations to create and build.
Sparkling off enthusiasm to conquer.
Arousing lovers to the height of their passion.
Uniting, hanging on and refusing to surrender.
All seeks to balance the destructive force of flame,

But in the end nothing beats.
The light in your eyes that makes me warm.
And an artist expression,
capturing this burning flame on canvas.
To tell us.
Maybe there is hope after all.
