Best Combusts Poems

The story behind this poem
The curiosity of many of my readers (many of them women) was excited in my previous poem ‘Passion in Black and White’ POTD 6 March. They wanted to know more about the ‘Magical Tree’ and Café’ in the poem.

She storms into the room
there is fire in her eyes
and thunder in her step
rage rumbling reckless
She's livid
a live wire of fire
charged
She's on the move
To punish
Is it a rumor or reality?
He has explaining to do...

She rushes at him
Pounding on his chest
words pent up all day
rush out...

The sun blowtorches its way into the water, 
fragments, and the bottom is an aqua sky 
webbed by white-hot lightning. 

Here and there, legs hang like halved mannequins 
disappearing into a squiggly-bright ceiling, 
through which you can make out 
the slurred shape of a poolside...

Love is a blanket whose thick crocheted threads coat the heart in warmth,
Swaddling the being of essence in comfort of a chair which rocks back and forth.

To and fro goes the heart's flow away and towards that which lights the night,
In which darkness whose shadows...

Viking, Viking burning bright,
on a pyre in the night,
though the wind howls and bites,
this funeral is out-of-sight!

Through the cold and falling snow,
on the lake your fire glows,
the ships combusts, and now I know
this here is how I want to go.

A Sonnet for Jayne

O,'Tis such a rare and beauteous thing 
Amidst the turmoil,who can explain 
That which inspires a man's soul to sing, 
Or to reflect its light in loud refrain. 
Were the stars so sullen before we met? 
Did both the moon and sun...

This worrying view
Today on earth
Is it the end of life
For all it's worth

An angry sky
Overhead
Cold blues
Atmosphere dead

Clouds of gas
From interstellar space
Stratosphere breached
Alien face

But out of the hue
A face in the clouds
Nebula seeker
Her shroud crowds

This nebulae
Of particle dust
Energy of gas
The seeker combusts

Angry exchange
In our skies above
Two...

The sun will shine brighter tomorrow when...
If you’re thinking meek is weak, you might be wrong.
We all know "peace and love" kind of people.
Check out their fuel you will learn that they’re strong
They do not argue what's good with what's evil.
“Meek” combusts from inside, working...

Triggered by his love strung bow
A love song of colours of the rainbow
Hides the winged assassin’s precision

For when one does fall in love
It’s from cupid’s blessings above
Fired by love’s unmissable first sight

The poisoned tipped projectile penetrates
With impact the soft and tender hearts
Then spontaneously combusts the...

I need to trust
Before everything combusts
I try my best
But then there's another test
I need to quit thinking the worst
Or we will be hurt
Trust is a hard thing
That it sometimes feels like a bee sting
How do I trust
That it's needed to be discussed
I get a bad...

It scorches; it sears
It burns in the veins
It maddens; it deranges
It gives exquisite pains
 
It entices; it provokes
It lures to its lair
It boils; it combusts
It lays the heart bare
 
It consumes; it exhumes
The forbidden dreams
It demands; it commands
That you follow its schemes
 
It explodes; it...

Heed then the touch of certainty
That mellows in uncertainty


There is a strange reason why change
Fabricates an odd feeling strange


Embrace the conflict that confronts
As soul and mind and heart bear brunt


Seek to run away from harsh pain
That raptures swellings in your brain


Yet adjust to ample clashing
As...

soft light waves within
a heart of crystalline rays
the darkness abates-
bright vision of flame combusts
angel orbs dispel the haze

Edie cries for everyone, thrown into bins
Dylan cried the blues
Joni parted yellow curtains

At The Chelsea this afternoon
overpaid prophets,
socialites and sattelites collide.
Take me away
bring me back to that Chelsea.

Broken free will combusts,
change your frame,
carry a shudder
but hold on so tight,
grasp irrelevant notions.

Keep everything at bay,
when the...
