Premium MemberAfire in the Sky

Amidst the colors of a vibrant dawn 
two eagles soar within their own domains. 
Each searching for a mate, they're slowly drawn 
towards the skies which destiny maintains. 

Their hearts are racing as they near this space 
for they can hear the cry of rapture’s plea. 
Within this realm two mighty birds embrace, 
becoming one

Premium MemberDesire Afire

If I get my wish 
If my wish does come true
The best present ever
Is the present of you
You're all that I want
I'd be satisfied
To open my gift
Putting all else aside 

I'll unwrap you slowly
Take my time with each bow
And after the last one
The rest will just flow
Since what happens next
I can't really discuss
At least not

Premium MemberHeart's Afire

When you share your heart
To a beckoned call
The day you start
You risk it all

If love is sealed
The words are spoken
A heart is healed
Or a heart is broken

If your heart runs dry
It may never heal
So don't rely
On sex appeal

But when it's true
Your heart's afire
Then give into
Your heart's desire

Premium MemberSeptember's Song

The summer sun begins to chill,
as Autumn sings September's song.
A briskness falls upon the hills,
days now don't tarry quite so long.

As Summer leaves, she blows a kiss
to lovely blossoms, soon to fade.
Leaves on trees await Autumn's bliss
to preen in red and gold parade.

An artist's dream, those royal hues,
as though the trees must be afire.
No room

Premium MemberSet Us Afire

The sun went behind cobalt clouds
Once again, but came out
Leaving those clouds 'pon the horizon
Those sunbeams now so stout

Clouds slowly thicken come together 
Almost block the sunbeams
Gradually slowly the sun's covered
But its presence is supreme

As the water sprinkler clicks round
Hangs up in the tulip tree
Its presence becomes so much quieter
Reducing the noise with ease

The sun

Faith is stronger than its outcome,
an end unto itself

Where souls enmire in hope afire

Bright, out-shimmering the stars,

          Venus, Jupiter and Mars ...

               Each November, guard the moon,

     Whilst the Seven Sisters swoon.



Stars that swim a sea instead,

Symphony Afire

HERE-IS THE SAME
HERS-WAFTS LIKE A FEATHER
SWEET HONEY INNOCENCE
DRIPPING
HE-IS OF SOFT LEATHER
HEAVY, BLACK
UNFATHOMABLE
THEY-BITE AND STING
THEY CARESS THE AIR
FLOW LIKE MUSIC
CARRY ON THE WIND
DANCE INTO THE FLAMES
MELT INTENTIONS
THEIRS-IS HARMONY
SYMPHONY.

All Kindled Lies Afire

Is the artist in me a liar,
  or the one who walks outside

Are my words and deeds in conflict,
  which to breathe and which to hide

Would King Solomon have an answer,
  to this split I often feel

Would salvation hold my name in check,
  as today my soul to deal

Do excuses like

Man Afire

I burn to leave a legacy
I burn hot and bright
That others might find safety
In the warmth of my light.
Brightly burning in the night.

Such a quest a slave makes
Servant to others be
Yet may never I dim or take
Another's light from thee
That my brethren be set free.

Shadows strong and dark
Follow close, upon my heels
Ever stalking their mark
With

A Psalmist Afire

A PSALMIST AFIRE
God is a righteous God.
        He is dynamic via The Word.
        He is visionary through his people.
        My creator is he.
When I call on him, he is there.

Sparks Afire

bright skies swallowed by darkness
sparks of love set afire

glowing flames at my back
guide my way through the gloom
moving slow fearing whats lost
looking back I get burned
reminding me there's nothing left

Iv found my home
just enough rain to not get burned
just enough light to know I'm alive

I hope you find your light
brighter then i could shine
don't worry

Premium MemberAfire With Passion

Feel the fire that burns in my heart
Draw nearer, you’ll find I’m ablaze
Desire is tearing me apart
This thing called love is madness, craze

Sweat trickles down upon my chest
I smolder with longing for you
You stoke the fires and do your best
To emit flames of sapphire blue

Douse this blaze with passion’s sweet kiss
Let me melt in your

To Keep Our Torches Afire

When gray, we are away
 From light that brightly shines
 As if around under a cloud
 We roam, spirit forlorn.
 Our thoughts turn inward
 And we dwell in a well
 Of self righteous indignation
 Which harrows down to our bone marrow
 And sap our energy trapped
 By an arraign of complain.
 The body stricken get
