Burning Hearts and Wilted Flowers

You're the flame around my heart, am I still your smile when we're apart? As you leave your flame flares up, but when I look into your face, I miss your lack of smiling place, You are my fire! Where were you before my first flame? What were you before in me? After your last flame returns from where it came what remains but sacred memory? Although our flames elapse and change, inhaling light's upflaring waves, are you this same fire from first consuming claims through our last expiring rest? Other than your warm body warming Earth's co-gravitation, mothering this same fire I watched expire last night Outside your measured fire storms earthquaking loveless landslides, untreasured life's reflective time. Does your flaming heart hide compassioned souls in some primal blame from this same hearth? Yet more compelled by burning differences through indifferent times and sad shame places. My heartflow heated spaces privileged nature's species emerging fertile fires with despairing ends Enraptured burning Trees of Life charred roots of ashen death, inducing fallen memories of good flame health interred by flaring time's hot-red boundary, pathology of here-now loss, last expiring breath. Is this how flaming love seeks sacred Sun's same searing soul? And mundane nature's more warmly kind absence of burnt-out love in green peaceful pastures? My flaming blame arises up and represses down to in and out revolve again another night of shared light memory Another season, another moment, another flaring space time glaring toward reconnecting well-fired heat of star-fired compassions Yang emergent flaming hearts, as Yintegrity refires all-consuming brilliant flow Slow-burn nurturing air to blow, boiling overheated water baptizing bleated breaths inhaling exhaled light greets Earth-rooted powers. Wavey flames with abundant fuel burning co-arising hearts Primal co-relationships zero-soaring soulful strong refilling empty intent to raises Yang's full-power flame with Yintegrity's fertile flow Balancing burning yearning hearts against wilting memory's flowers, regenerating midway light empowering fires. Why do Earth's nature flames inhale and exhale slow flow fueling spirit frames? Sensual breaths, co-empathic licking smiles toward WinWin productive all-consuming resonance Co-arising flames ebb and co-gravitate slow burn flow of warm wealth hearted practice Why do healthy co-infested flames love to smell and taste and feel and grow together? Fired up beyond my broken heart, without your shaming smile As night engulfs cold blaming acrid ashes falling senselessly apart.

Flames of love and life arise from your verses like sun also arises to smile and caress the mountains and creatures to grow together.Deep admiration.
