Human Inferno

It's finally here! After over a month of being unable to write anything I have finally gained back some of my inspiration. So here is a poem I wrote for Leo Sparks. Or at least the evil version of him that I portray in the poem.

Human Inferno

A burning inferno

The flames lap against the golden skin

Sparks crackling and flying in perfect arcs

A fiery parabola of majesty

Yet deep in the core of the raging fire

In the bright white heart of the lightning

Is a man.

This unnatural being of human shape

Unscathed by the heat and the terrible power

The flesh uncharred, the hair untouched

The eyes sear with a blinding intensity

Globes of pure energy and magic

Windows to the soul of a god

Torrents of lightning erupt from his fingertips

Turning the clouds electric blue

As his body writhes with the pulses

That travel up and down his being

Sparks of deepest yellow play amongst his silky hair

Which stand on end in rigid splendour

And when he speaks the voice is harsh as the devastation

Left behind by ravenous beast he controls

Yet deeply alluring causing all who hear it to lust for his supremacy

He calls out his name to the world

“Leo Sparks”

And as the flames caress his body lovingly

Tenderly submitting to his might

A charred and blackened corpse

Ravaged by lightning, blistered and burnt

Falls from his arms

As the women let out her dying screams

Leo lapped at her life-force

And the flames grew a little brighter

And Leo a little taller and golden

And Leo smiled as another victim

Fell to his fiery charms.
