I can be wrong in this, but I always thought that the Flame Imperishable was Eä. And Iluvatar said Eä was deep within the planet and therefore I guess that the Flame Imperishable is the planet core.
It is some time since I last read the Silm, but I believe that Melkor thought that that with the F.P. he could create things of his own (as Iluvatar made the Elves), yet he could never find it.

greetings,
