The Charcoal Beast

The charcoal beast,
Swarms through the air,
Choking out my voice,
All coming from one flare,

Rubbing it’s stormy plumage,
Against the back of my throat,
Rubbing against my senses,
Destroying them with every stroke,

Breathing in it’s fumes,
Deathly intoxications does it reek,
Destroying my health,
Making me weak,

It’s smoky essence,
Choking out my life,
Coming from the rekindling fire,
Never does it stifle,

Into silence,
My life does now fade,
Leaving the charcoal beast,
To continue his murderous parade...
