Sammy D. "Flamage" Poetry Page

Flames in every corner of my eyes
and no where to turn to for an escape.
I curl up and head straight into the flames
and feel no heat nor burning sensation.

I keep my eyes closed and continue on
into dangerous peril hoping nothing will stop me.
I break free after what seems to be an eternity.
I slowly open my eyes and then uncurl myself.

I let some light in and see that I had taken
myself out into what I thought was the night.
But yet there is so much light I feel blinded.
There are many firefighters everywhere I look.

One grabs me and asks me if I am all right.
I stare into her eyes and realize she is scared.
She and another lady each take an arm .
I stumble and fall, I rise and fall again.

We reach the medic, the world is spinning around at high velocity.
I sit down and look up to see the building I just escaped from.
The twenty story building is completely engulfed in flames and smoke.
There is a great deal of flame, but no heat.

I don't understand how there could be so much flame
but I couldn't feel any heat.
In fact I actually start to feel
cold, tired, and very dizzy.

I look down at the door where I had come out
and realize that the door is not there any more.
The spinning world has sped up and over takes me.
That’s all I can remember from that horrible night.
