Best Burned Poems

A flame once burned so brightly everything in sight 
seemed quite beautiful in its blinding light.

Everything I took for truth once upon a time
seemed to me more glorious; love seemed more sublime.

Then the fire began to die. Every little flaw 
I began to clearly see...

"Playing With Fire"



The heat of the fireplace
enhances the spark,
we know our love
will not fade in the dark.

We kissed amongst
burning candlelight,
your presence alone
brightened my midnight.

Nothing can extinguish
your warming touch,
a lasting impression
that meant so much.

Bound to be burned
As we played with fire,
we could not resist
and gave in...

Long ago they met
a night filled with sweet romance
igniting two flames
life took them separate ways
fire cooled, dwindled to embers

sparks flew once again
when fate threw them together
rekindling the fire
cherished love led to marriage
twin flames burned: deep in each heart

Burned out dreams 

Lights strung above this out of place darkness
create shadows of an invisible existence

Filaments of glowing hopes and wants
droop towards empty heart beats

I am alone in this overcrowded nightmare,
checking the time on faceless moons

Floating in no particular sequence 
like sentries on broken boundary...

Hiss, Hiss, Snap goes the lighter
And he walks ahead
Just like a fighter
Click, Click, kaching goes the money
And he leaves with his poison
Why am I laughing? This isn't funny
But I can't help but laugh, laugh, laugh
My face hurts
My mind is starting to drift
And boom! Something bursts
I'm...

I found a picture of us
Tucked away in an old...dresser drawer
By the smiles on our faces, I’d guess
We both wanted more

Now to this day I say
I let you get away
And knowing that
Always gets me down
I can’t believe this old flame
Still hasn’t burned me down

There’s no...

"Good morning," she softly whispered, thinking he'd spoken at her side. Then, Truly closed her eyes hoping to dream of him again. Sleep refused her desire to return to him in his rose garden. She tossed and turned, reached for the pillow that should be...

           "A Flame Once Burned"



as the golden twilight of dawn arose
illuminated the September sky with pose
tears of wallowing sorrow fell
as a flame once burned with the tolling bell
while memories flooded deep within
of a lost child...

I once tried to burn Day Light
But found she was not flammable
So I decided to try Twi Light
Not a chance...Twi just laughed at me
and Day smirked, snickered and pointed
Which REALLY burned me up...

'Try burning Night Time,’ Twi suggested
(No way! Burn me once? Flame on you

A flame once burned where embers glow
And deep inside my heart I know
Untended embers turn to ash
And I know dreams are known to crash.

 Our love kindled a passion’s fire
That promised never to expire
Somehow, though, time passed us by
And our endless flame began to die

We...

Last night I burned my mom's Tamales ! 
I can't tell you how much I regret it !
It was about 12:30 p.m when I sat there waiting for them to cook
But waiting wasn't any luck 
I was attracted by this beast
It captured me like it...

It's chilly where the sun once shone,
Mem'ries haunt when I'm alone,
Bereft of joys that I had known,
My dreams all torn apart.

Scorched the earth where flowers bloomed,
The dust and ash my hopes consumed,
Hes'tations, doubts our passion doomed
Ere it had time to start.

I want in vain for...

It is not because I was unduly worried then.
That miserable beauty spot was becoming a ball.
I never bothered about it since I was a man
Or that it could some sort of vicious cancer I recall.

But my ugly beauty spot grew just below my eye.
It hampered...

(This is a fictional poem)

I was naked and I bumped into my heater.
It put a second degree burn on my peter.
I couldn't have sex for over a month so my wife walked out the door.
When I peed, it hurt like hell because my wiener was...

                  I inhale aroma of fresh caffeine
