Best Aflame Poems

As I Rose From Purple Slumberland, My Heart Red Aflame

As I rose from purple slumberland, my heart red aflame
There within crackling old bones was an itching in the game
Was there honorable valor in soul's deeper felt hate
Dare I tempt yet again the hard vicious hand...

Burnished gold, aged bronze patinaed by the firelight
singed by sullen Sol, not stayed by Poseidon's hand;
aflame, aflame, the tall ship burns, see the masts ignite.

Unpenitent the sky rains ash blackening the night
the fire sends a smoky pall upon the sea and land
burnished gold, aged bronze...

Like the sun after a summer rain
Like the sweet song of a robin's refrain
A Mozart concerto
A mellow cello
A gentle touch that sets your heart aflame...

a smile embedded
too vast, even for the sky
the horizon burns....

Tonight, the horizon burns like metal 
Molted and shot from a mouth of fire 
The trees stand scorched, coal-chalked pictures 
In the sky hangs a fleeting smile 
Molted and shot, from a mouth of fire 
Twisted from wire, but tender, yet to be shaped 
In...

red orchard aflame
winter's angular sunshine...
peach tree buds explode  

Some of the peach orchards
look like a flame with the 
buds swelling 'pon the trees...

SET THE FUTURE AFLAME


Children:
Glorifying drums of hope
Undying sparkles of wisdom
Fortifying steps of eternity
Glittering dreams of tomorrow’s
Realities! 

Your innocence 
Your truthfulness 
Your honesty
Your purity
Your lack of past,
I worship

For that, 
I yearn
The time for you 
To stop,
Your advance to 
Impede,
Your march to an
End to bring,
Before 
You reach...

Burning with passion my loins are aflame
My eyes are round, basically going insane
She's primed and ready
My mind's like spaghetti
Her stuff make me quiver, pulls this guy's chain...

Notre Dame
  now maimed
terror's imprint
  hate proclaimed

Notre Dame
  ravaged, lame
intolerance aflame
  for shame, for shame

Notre Dame
  great holy name
fearful to blame
  ~ to the world inflame


Not for the ND contest...

Burning with passion my loins are aflame
My eyes are quite round, really going insane
She's primed and ready
My mind's like spaghetti
Her stuff makes me quiver, pulls this old guy's chain...

*** Devoted — Soul Aflame ***

	( A Devotion Series Poem.   Written for our one, holy ABBA)

With a folding into 
 Divinely reaching Love —

My stilled soul in an instant, 
 flared, leapt
   — to a Return
   of devotion to...

Impossible to burst my bubble of invincibility
Invisible to all human beings, so I need a mere remedy
Scatterbrained, but I remain in my lane of thought again, again, again
It doesn’t matter that I’m drained anymore and defeated by a million men

My vision is a burning flame...

Capricious, a long haired 
Classical girl, long legs
Casually looks, eye
Contact, fiery young man,
Clearly hormones aflame,
Confidently walks with rose 
Converse, fait accompli!

A music box,
Within the vault of time,
Hangs silent and still,
As the dancer steps softly.
Forward in time she comes,
With raised arms and swirling skirts,
The dance begins again.
With her smile she beckons
And the full moon tilts downward,
Setting us aflame with cold fire.

Into the amber haze
Her swaying body...
