Best Incinerate Poems

Rather I, Sharpen Blade, Saddle My Battle Horse,
(Dawn, First Battle, Part One)

Dare I, reduce poet's pen to a plastic sword
flee from shadows that invades as destructive hordes?
Nay, such would incinerate reborn poetic soul,
bring heartache and destroy path to truth's gallant goal.

Rather I, sharpen blade, saddle...

You can see him now, dirty as a horse
that slipped in the mud, planting petunias
with that infamous shamrock thumb

(Irish from his Pop      Appendage from his Mum)

stopping every now - and again -
to breathe deep that fragrance
rich with pheromone nostalgia
just like...

Early morning and the gantry cranes
at Webb Dock look like long necked
dinosaurs lining up to drink from the river - 
and the sky is aglow as it might have been
when tinged by the first hint of that asteroid 
slamming into Yucatan on the other side
of...

(THE GHOST)

In the naked eye,
Pure death approaches!

Incredibly hollow, kick the bucket long ago
No, whiff nor smell when “THE GHOST” is around
Abuses the whiteness, in which exists inside these sheets
It can be the cost and the intellect of your overdose in question
Go ahead and dig your...

"Consistency"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Contemplate, debate hate
Rate state magistrates
Mate great fates
Wait....date late
Deflate straight weight
Emancipate inmate traits
Dissipate irate gates
Indicate!  Investigate!  Litigate!
Incarcerate?  Degradate?  Incinerate?
Rejuvenate!  Captivate!  Demonstrate!
Innovate!  Motivate!  Fascinate!
Anticipate!  Dedicate!  Articulate!
Communicate....congratulate....exonerate
Infiltrate....penetrate....interrogate
Implicate!  Detonate!  Annihilate!
Separate?  Segregate? ...

My heart-beat drums of love and charm.
O' hear the voice of love that sings a sweet song.
Listen to the songbird's *dulcet serenade and dawning alarm,
and reply, oh lovebird, with a lovesick *tongue.
Liberate thy spirit of love my dear *marm,
and respond! respond! yes respond with a...

There is a room 
no walls, no floor
woven black
and made of war 

no sun to crawl
no stars transcend
elliptic arc
never descend

in this place
mirror of death
brought to life 
by shallow breath

glass and ghost 
to crack and burn
the crying night
in twilight churn  

when I fall
in places deep
this...

White Sand and Temporary Oblivion

For an aching moment
I faced dazzling
Gypsum and glass as splinters
Of sunlight pierced the air
Bouncing bright off the landscape at
Alamogordo ---fat Cottonwoods and
	not a tree in sight not
Here, the sight of the unholy Trinity 
	test
Blessed and blast
A fitting slant rhyme for our
	slanted...

I’d annihilate
the ascending sun
from the sky

incinerate the
eremitic moon
beyond recognition

eradicate
each and every
constellation from its
galaxy

decimate every
planet one
at
a
time

if I believed
that it would
give you one
instant of
respite

from the
savages gorging
on your essence....

Once upon a time, there lived a boy called Simon.
He was an ordinary boy who did what ordinary nine year old
boys do: collecting bugs and putting them in jars,
speaking to imaginary friends, riding a bike along an empty road
in the woods….. 

As the only child...

===========================

SULTRY zephyr's gust incinerate milieu
Estival breath perfumed the whimsical view
Perfect metamorphosed season ensued
Torrid wind whistled as fall foliage mind-glued
Exquisite maple leaves cascade in vivid red - auburn dyes
Moon of AUTUMN's nocturnal murk in premature soar - in it's crib, he lies
Bursting colours of halcyon "era"...

or leave a clue to my love
or you stay inside me for lifetime as knot
it is not easy to take part in a heart

or leave a trail your behind
or stay in memory in a misty road
not little to be a memory in a heart

or incinerate...

Inside this shattered silhouette, 
flooded within the wails of a sobbing opus; 
my heart’s frozen, cradled in the arms of self defeat, 
whilst fraudulent licks from a delusional flame, 
threatens to incinerate my soul. 
I seek your face in the frustrating shadows;
"whisper my name, lead...
