Best In The Heat Of Poems

The first time I saw you, there was a glow about you
      that baffle me.  I-I just could not find the right word,
     "you had that certain glow about you".  Not the way you...

I weave through blazing flames
Fanning my scorching heart

Spinning sparks attempt to tame 
Not even a gram of pain subsides 

All that is magical gone - my existence torched

A helium filled heart taunting me
Floating high escaping my grasp

As the smoke clears I see
His embers still burns...

‘In The Heat of The Night’

The night is sultry and the languid breeze
Smells of sticky sweet Jasmine
As it clings to each salty bead of sweat
Dripping…
                 Dripping…

Amisdt the lull of flying rockets and shells I stare at this photo and feel terribly sad
My Grandfather, cut down in youth; my Dad, bound in a chair, with legs, iron clad
Mom with foresight, had it sealed in plastic, to keep it safe away from...

Spare me the goof,
O dear Captain,
Hear the rattling mess tins,
My dear old kit bag,
Worn out in action,
I lost my hold-all,
The spare drawers’ cotton,
A half-full water bottle,
Almost emptying my Haversack lunch,
The sun is scorching,
The camouflage is withering,
The cover is blowing out,
Silhouetted we crawl, 
The impetus is...

smart cop from Philly
bigoted Southern sheriff-

Sharing a night of ecstasy 
Closing the door on all fantasies
This moment is all about me and you
Not even the thickest Ice-cube
Could melt the passion I feel for you

These flames that burn are forever
for you I set them free
my heart aches for you to touch...

In the heat of 
the moment 
Split irrational 
decision making 
Leaves both
party's concerned
With a deep 
sense of regret...

A glimpse out the window morphs into a gaze
Brugmansia, your mystical delicate beauty clears
Air conditioned stupor. There you sway
Gracefully grasping toward thirst-quenched solidity.  
Firmly rooted one strand beyond limp susceptibility
Leaves randomly ragged from young rodents' teething
Swelteringly bearing the dark side of nature
Fresh blossoms emanate...

Twisting in to glimpse your chest undulating,
(Mine surges with your ear to my ribs)
A letter framed between fruit, caught the street light
Glitters gold and orange, blurred in the rain windshield;

My fingers run the road on your head,
U-turn as they yield toward the back,
And you shutter,...

Love finds itself fading away. "In the Heat of the Night" sweat from your inner possessions In the heat of the night.

Sympathy sets in like a thief in the night awaiting at gun point leaving no room for escape.

Exhausted, crushed as if depression has caught...

In the Heat of the Moment

What do you do when you get in those
awkward positions where you just don’t
know what to do?

I mean, you know that you should
tell, but you’ve been conditioned
by the culture not to.

Snitches are persecuted and ridiculed.
They become outcasts as the masses
disassociate...

In the heat of the moment you lost your dear friend
With that mean, nasty e-mail you weren't gonna send
You're so quick-tempered and course
Four wives filed for divorce
Your heated moments tore ties which won't mend

in the heat of the night
elegant, authentic, articulate
around her neck
             fine ornamental jewelry
   she walked majestically
she was confident and sure
with smiles she came to him
he embraced her tightly
then kissed her passionately

Wind whispers through the ears of distant lovers as the sun hides behind ominously positioned clouds 
where their gray cast shadows on quiet hearts 
quiet minds, & quiet eyes alike 

Poor lovers, transfixed by natures embodiment of their undisclosed truths, 
words no more manageable than...
