Best Burnt Poems

"Burnt Aqua"



I can taste the sun
on my tongue
it spills down 
my throat
like burnt aqua
healing the beating frisson

I am ebony inside
shading in my shadow world
some somnolent soul
waking from slumber’s dream dance 
a small death in life 
questioning the reason in romance

dark suede and cat like
I wait...

Burnt Into Ash My Sad Soul Looks Far Back

In youth, my spirit was a climbing vine
dressed in green leaves upon white oak tree
Seeking light, I was walking a true line
in shade of path that was truly free

Storms weathered sheltering branches
bringing sun's hot beams upon my...

I Winter In Fallen Ash Of Burnt Dreams

I winter in fallen ash of burnt dreams
an armadillo, shell removed eyes blinded.
As time crawls on, midnight moon proudly beams
by its hollow glow, heart is reminded
this world operates with dark and wicked teams.

Sinking naked form into blacken earth
sad...

Darkness you have a funny way of shading the light 
colour coding from such a pit spinning the web of deceit 
clouds within suffering victims cry to the heaven's 

Shame on such corrupt souls poisoned by lies 
twisting truth shows bad manners condemning justice

"Poetry is just the ash"

voices clearly purged though

 boldness of inky ash laden passages,

         echoing that which most

               words cannot convey,

pen cleanses sins...

magenta magic
recently escaped eve's skies
darkening to plum

crows caw on the wing
as pink sun turns red-orange
day goes up in flames

mango berry crush
mahogany shadows move
gold clocks go tick tock...

I sit in front of the fireplace,
in a house empty and cold;
I throw in another waded up piece of paper
from a box all tattered and old.

The flames consume the paper,
like the hundred pieces it did before,
from love letters that she wrote me,
before my heart, in...

Tent pegs, burnt legs
Sun cream, ice cream
Swimming trunks, squashed lunch
Peeling tum, after sun.

Dusty feet, collapsing seat
Folding table, electric cable,
Sleeping pods, fishing rods
Guide ropes foreign notes.

Ground sheet, birds tweet.
Wind break, tent shake
Top box  midnight fox
Sweeping floor, rubbish torn

Barbecue, dodgy loo,
Gritty toes, runny nose
Flip flops dirty...

Rain falls silently beyond the farthest hill
as morning cries from life's night of despair
Where shaded shadows stand in solitude seeking wisdom
after stars fell without notice by human eyes
corrupted by caustic cradles of candles waxing

Searching for answers in skies where there is no sun
and finding weakness...

At some point you are going to need to impress more than a few friends with some burnt toast. I used to have an old, heavy-gauge chrome-plated toaster with a dial to adjust doneness from 1-5. I took a Sharpie and scribed a 6 at...

His girl likes beaches and the sun
As a big part of summer’s fun.
Lovely with her golden tan
He’s  her most adoring fan.
She‘s lightly toasted, he’s well done....

Sandra was ready to PLAY
but she told me to go far AWAY
A beauty school QUEEN
would be embarrassed to be SEEN

"You're just not my type,Rodger...if ya know what I MEAN?!"

Ok..so I am not quite the STUD
But at least i'm no Elmer FUDD
Nerds hate to be picked...

You built me up made, made me trust you.
But now you’re the nightmare that plays even in the direct ray of light.
You make me fight not to call you because you are like a fire who made me burn so bright
Your glowing Tyz – yeh...
