Crimson. Lips beckoning you into a kiss. The flame of passion.

Electric blue. The roar of a blowtorch, the crackle and snap of lightning sparks. The flame of drive.

Clear. Open air, shimmering on a hot summers day. The flame of spirit.

White. A melded rainbow, colours fused together into searing snow. The flame of hope.

Yellow. Gilt leaf wrought defiant on crisp white page, glowing against. The flame of optimism.

Cherry Red. The core of a star, the roaring celestial furnace. The flame of strength.

Blood Red. Torrential force pumping through your veins, the rush of power and vitality. The flame of life.

Pink. Delicate rose petals, wafer thin and dancing to the breeze. The flame of love.

Crimson, electric blue, clear, white, yellow, cherry red, blood red, pink.

These are the flames.

Passion, drive, spirit, hope, optimism, strength, life, love.

These are your flames.

Let them burn bright.
