Best All Consuming Poems
I should write a poem of loathing
but this love is all consuming.

Do the flames from his tongue cause you to burn?
His words are an all consuming fire!
Placed within a book so that we may learn.
Humans are often lost in their desire.
There is a way they can be satisfied.
His words are an all consuming fire.
Through his sacrifice we are justified!
Our hearts are broken and need to be healed.
There is a way they can be satisfied.
At the foot of His cross I gladly kneeled.
Trusting in words spoken into my soul.
My heart was broken and now it is healed.
I had lived half a life now it is whole.
Choosing to walk down a different road.
Trusting in words spoken into my soul.
I no longer carry a heavy load.
Choosing to walk down a different road.
Do the flames of his toungue cause you to Burn?
Placed within a book so that we may learn.

Oh, I have this inescapable preoccupation,
since a child wrapped in pleasing delusions and intense words;
I am haunted- possessed with a single-minded fixation,
writing in solitude while listening to morning birds.
Since a child wrapped in pleasing delusions and intense words,
tormented and restless and sometimes a bit excessive;
writing in solitude while listening to morning birds,
penning even into the night- my need to write obsessive.
Tormented and restless and sometimes a bit excessive,
fanatical- I get immersed and submerged in my thoughts;
penning even into the night- my need to write obsessive,
this addictive mania has my heart and soul in knots.
Fanatical- I get immersed and submerged in my thoughts,
my need a bewitchment and a beautiful melancholy;
this addictive mania has my heart and soul in knots,
It is for the story- this depth of deep frantic folly.
My need a bewitchment and a beautiful melancholy,
I am haunted- possessed with a single-minded fixation;
It is for the story, this depth of deep frantic folly,
Oh, I have this inescapable preoccupation.

Questions
Like poison injected, coursing through my veins
Like soot inhaled, choking the air I breathe
Questions
Like screaming, deafening in my ears
Like oiled cogs and gears, cranking in my head
Questions
Like thick, enveloping fog, blurring my vision
Like a ravenous cancer, eating and spreading
Questions
Like a metallic taste, needing to be spit out
Like flooding my dreams, stealing my sleep
Questions
All consuming power, sealed behind ruby lips
Sown tightly shut, with needle and thread

All Consuming
They strip me down to expose my naked soul
To find the ugliness that has taken its control
With surgical precision they slice away the rot
Collecting the pieces to put in their melting pots
Surrounding the pot to smell the putrid stench
Salivating for just a taste of my gangrenous flesh
Scooping up my waste in their pretty little bowls
Dining on the forgotten drinking from their skulls
Their not here to save me from my evils deep within
But to consume me bit by bit until I’m just a sack of skin
The echoes of screams I hear are not from others but from me
They won’t let me go my thoughts of torture all-consuming

God is A all consuming fire
God is A all consuming fire
God is A all consuming fire
God is A all consuming fire
He won't burn up
He can't burn up
He the light for always
and He is eternally brilliant
Shine, brightly for ever and ever and ever and ever. . . .
and ever and always....
Out God is an all consuming fire
Can't put Him out, can't stomp His blaze
Out God is an all consuming fire
Can't stomp Him out
Or pour water on Him
He'll burn for always, always, always, always and always forever and ever
He won't consume you, just rebirth you
Won't cause you pain but He'll save you in Jesus name
Won't disintegrate but His flames and fire greater than
And hotter than anything that you could ever stand
Out God is an all consuming fire
Can't put Him out can't stop His blaze
Out God is an all consuming fire
Can't stomp Him out
Or pour water on Him
He's forever a blaze and blazing
Out God is an all consuming fire
Can't stomp Him out
Or pour water on Him
He'll burn for always, always, always, always and always forever and ever

I thirst for your intellect-
you quench with knowledge
I starve for your notions-
you nourish with meditations
for there is no rhyme as to why
I feel this way...
Your thoughts i n f a t u a t e my ruminated existence.
I need your reliance-
you bestow with such ease
I desire your passion-
you provide with emotion
for there is no rhythm as to why
I feel this way...
Your devotion c o n s u m e s my mused spirit.

Tantalizing aromas fill the nighttime air
Scents that carry on the breeze to my mind
While walking to the table to get my share
It was to my surprise, which I did find
For there on the table, my food on a dish
The dish of flesh, as the food sat on top
She reclined there supporting making a wish
That I would eat my fill and never to stop
With a smile I gestured, I’d start with the broth
I’d work my way up to the heavenly desserts
All the time cleaning my mouth with her cloth
To consume then her offerings, to get then my worth
As she was the course which I desired the most
With wine in our hands, we then made our toast

His love incarcerates her heart
Like a prisoner captive in shackles
Inescapable
All consuming,
Overwhelming
Like a magnet to its metal.

In Cherished Dreams, Your Beauty Laps All Consuming Flames
In cherished dreams, your beauty laps all consuming flames
as its flickering hot-tongues, sear this desirous soul
we had never played, as did others, any lying games
true, we lived in the moment, deepest passion our goal!
Sweetest memories, that I have in my romantic vault
are waking with you and staying in our bed all day long
knowing now that our breakup, was truly all my fault
I sit here alone, crying to many sad country songs!
Once my day shimmered and glowed, by having your smile
although many years flown by, your beauty this soul yet stirs
I saw you last night, out riding dressed in western style
complete in your sexy, skin-tight jeans, cowgirl boots and spurs!
In cherished dreams, your beauty laps all consuming flames
as its flickering hot-tongues, sear this desirous soul
we had never played, as did others, any lying games
true, we lived in the moment, deepest passion our goal!

There is love
And then... there is LOVE
That overwhelming, “take over your every thought” love
That longing to “forever be in someone's arms” love
That “I can't function without you” love
Anyone who has truly known this love
Knows exactly what I'm writing of
It's overwhelming down to the core
It engulfs us
Nothing else is of any consequence
It's all consuming, life changing, it gives reason for life
Through the years, I thought I had experienced it
I was wrong
Nothing compares in the slightest
To the love I feel now
For the sweetest lady I have ever had the good fortune to know
I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth
I won't question why
I will just revel in it's warmth, in the sheer and utter ecstasy
Nothing well ever equal this rapturous feeling
This unequaled joy
After meeting and having the love of the sweetest person I have ever known
I have now lived life to the fullest
There is no longer anything greater
There is love
And then... there is LOVE
An overwhelming sensation that can't be described
I am engulfed
