Best Burning At The Stake Poems

Mardi Gras "The Medieval Story"  

On a hot, heavy night in Orleans,
Joan and Jane were seen rubbing chest on chest
An inviting, intimate moment, to undress
Two pretty trimmed tops, eating like dames
They touched in ways, that drove those who make war insane
The secret spilled before...

I sit at my bench again,
this whole scene is getting old.
Same old sinners skulking in,
same defense a trillion-fold.

Next the room fills up with steam,
then flames shoot up through the grate.
I'm so bored I want to scream.
Now the part I really hate...

Blah, blah, blah, "I beg...

this whole scene is getting old.
Same old sinners skulking in,
same defense a trillion-fold.

Now the room fills up with steam.
Next, flames shoot up through the grate.
I'm so bored I want to scream!
Here's the part I really hate...

This quest arose for Jeanne d'Arc,
   A peasant girl engrossed in prayer.
   When voices deep inside her head,
   Spoke of her future, saving France.
   During the passing march of time,
   Wise words transcended Jeanne's belief.

That wind so wild can cause those wooden limbs
to shake from side to side as though to slap a face.
It is worth watching through your window
feeling the weird warmth within, while witnessing
another's violence, as viewing a movie.
How vain do you feel inside
seeing the outside wind...

HeteroSapiens have bipolar developed
miraculous capacities
to stretch and blur
legitimate moral peace initiatives
subordinate to licit legal judicial systems

Judiciously approved punishment
for misdemeanors
felonies,
cardinal
and moral
and carnal
and original sins
requiring flat fees
regardless of capacity to pay,
imprisonment,
enslavement,
lynching,
beheading,
burning at the stake,
chemical injections,

Capital disembodied punishments
NOT defined
refined
divined as unusually cruel retributions
against those creatures legitimate society
has decided...

I had a rival whose name was 'Susie'
The streetwalker I'd nicknamed 'the floozie'
Through the night she would strut
Wiggling her pudgy butt
If only I'd been holding an Uzi!

One night Susie and I had quite a spat
She called me a brat. I chided, "You're fat!"
But when she...

I am that human, who is proud and strong,
I am that human who was once wild and free.
I am that human climbing mountains, who struggles to reach its highest peak,
Only to climb back down and do it all over again.


I am that human who is...

I've got to stay involved.
I overheard terrible things one 
day.
You'll slain, scorch and stake 
me.
The problem's never solved.
I can feel it catching up to me.
It'll maim, torch and slaughter 
me.
 
Burning at the stake.
A suspect of magic.
You're making a mistake.
Kill me because I'm not like...

oh but how those goddamned Atheists 
would not stop yammering away---
with their Darwin & their Evolution & their
want to live in the reality of a world in which 
human beings take responsibility for the lives that they lead
without pretending as if some deity was watching
without...

Arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and it's been so long since the night I told her.

Please come closer and look at me harder.

You had me crying tears of liquid lying.

Burning at the stake I'm sorry but I wont make it.

I used to be...

call on the lords that are destroyed
by lies, lies of Gods that sacrifice
by killing, by melting away and by 
burning at the stake
these are what happens
when wrongness is seen 
the oceans of lost tributes
waves around the tides pull...

“which memories to us are near
moments of joy or those of fear”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some like romance
Others horror films
Joys of innocence 
Or adrenaline grim

Life is but a play
Which we direct
As actors we sway
Since we forget 

When we do awake
We laugh at last 
Burning at the stake
Was just a...

I keep telling myself
That you will come along
But I’m starting to call myself a liar
And I’m burning at the stake
At the thought of my own fallacies
My flesh is turning black
And the rotting smell litters my brain
And there you are
Two minutes too late
Well, I wasn’t lying
But...

Heart-Ache



Why does my heart ache?
I am an alright guy
There is only so much I can take!

Often, I sit in seclusion by this lake
Think of my let downs and cry
Why does my heart ache?

I'm always honest, never fake
Occasionally, I'll tell a...
