Best Enflames Poems
Where Gladiators FoughtPart I
Where gladiators fought for life,
we meet to fight for love
The constellations in the Roman night sky,
celestial spectators, bathe the Colosseum
in the white blood of light
The night is throbbing with the heat of our battle,
our cries, more passionate than any that have gone before
Part II

All Hopes EmbersHow to endure
This infatuation
When the touch of your hand
Is crucifixion
And every glance
Enflames my soul
Yet better this than a
Conflagration
And all hope’s embers
Growing cold.

Violence of MindOnce a nation
Supremely white as driven snow,
Singularly Christian, white and male,
Purely untarnished, and aglow,
Grandeur unparalleled in fairytale.
Hence a grievance
Punitively bold as bloody hellfire,
Potently prosecuted in seats of power,
Oppressively waged against objects of ire,
Prisms of nonwhites seeking justice in the hour.
Now a leader
Colossally void...

Songs In Passe'Songs of passe' drifting
From a distant somewhere out
They breathe into me
As a longing that wants to be, aught
And I begin by grasping at traces
Of a sadness in loss of innocence
Naivety was its beauty
Like the fawn that wanders from the morning mist
So with...

Song of My LoveThe song of my love is heard
It travels over Seas and mountains
Bearing cadences that make the fishes dance
It frolics over hills and oceans
With rhythms that adorn the eyes of the sun
Sniffing the scented air that enflames the smouldering harmattan ash
Dancing with the...

Never Loved MeNever loved.
Your just as cold hearted as me.
Never really wanted to save what we had.
Instead you let it fall empty from your hands.
When we said goodbye.
I bet you didn't stead a single tear.
When a million fell from mine.
I felt the chuck of ice break away.
The...

Light Verse
Strong HeartSensibility defined by loving emotions,
Thy love blossoms between two souls,
Rewarding both with a red hot hue,
Over the years, the magic begins to fade,
Neither's heart is in the right space,
Growing apart after thy love etiolated,
Hurtful feelings burn in the lover's mindful place,
Emotion enflames them with a...

Without YouI wrap chains of love around you
I whip you with my words
My desires sting your body
My eyes bind you like ropes
My touch cuts deep into your skin
My loving hold strangles you
My kisses are bites that bleed
My whispers tangle in your hair
My strength brings you to...

A Melting Candle SitsA melting candle
Is, atop mine open sill
As a refuge through and through
What breaks the twilight swill
Pierces blackened night
And in proxy cries the fiery light
A time to oft enflames to flicker
Against fighting odds and winds do kill
But, the wax it softens flowing thicker
Becomes molten...

The Flesh Was HungrySorceress, with smile you beckon,
Promised pleasures dark, fulfilling.
Costs, I know, too high to reckon,
Quivering flesh is weak but willing.
Neck to toe in Spanish leather,
Sweet and sultry curves to cover.
“Your soul is lost to me forever”
Softly snarls my demon lover.
I drift enchanted in a trance,
Darker, deeper...

like a little child who has just discovered magic.

The Magic Of Words
The magic of words does inspire
from depths within astir a dream
proclaim so as one heart's desire
and fabricate a righteous theme.
As images mount high like trees
the magic of words does inspire
a spark enflames that...
