Best On Fire Poems

God’s inspirational napalm set ablaze upon the trees of autumn,
Welcome to the ascension of the fall season, bursting forth onto
The leaves once evergreen.
Colors of crisp snapping, auburn reds, fires aglow oranges, and
Subdued darken browns to contrast the mixtures blending, created
By the masterful hands of a...

We live today in a world of great tumult
And of rising uncertainty and anxiety 
Which pervade the world stage like a cancer

Despite soaring technological advances
Our environment and our home Earth
Are bearing an unimaginable burden

People are wondering what must be done
To right these wrongs and adjust...

You set me on fire
Sizzling, blazing, devouring fire
Hot licking flames
Infernally hot
Temperatures skyrocketing
Scorching flares
Shooting out of your body
Searing into mine
One more moment
And I’ll cease to exist
The heat excruciating
Flames spread across my body
A wildfire from within
Combusting again and again and again….

With nothing left to consume
The fire starts...

Being a recluse,
I have lost track of sun’s hues
and the flavor of meadows
in snow. Bronze doorknobs are cold,
frozen like my rusty, numb thoughts.

Must I remember
how they were slain? The wails come
to haunt those bleeding midnights,
when tears flooded a room
opening doors with shots of fire.

SEX  ON FIRE
She silently retires to his secret chamber.
Knowing he was waiting for her...
The doors were locked
the windows closed.
Her backless bodycon...
abandons her ...
as he removes all her layers...
she reciprocates his actions ...
he grabs a fistful of her hair.
she summons herself to his passion ...
perspiring...

World's on fire

Hope is crumbling and the world's on fire
Failed humanity clutches to the pyre
Empty deception fuels hallowed liars
flames climb higher reaching to the spires

Holy buckets raised on high to scorched sky
No relief for them as their well's run dry
Worldly stars display a facade so...

Showering
Knob all the way left

Skin on my calves 
Burning crimson
Tingling with heat

Scrub it off
     off
          off

Scratch the fingerprints out
Of my screaming pores
Pull every hair
He ever touched
Out of my scalp
Replace myself
With new pieces
Of...

Kamala said she has only worked for the American masses

She did work for Speaker Willie Brown as his mistress 

Even her husband loved his mistress 

So much he had her abort their fetus

She doesn’t support parent's rights 

She doesn’t support the police 

She doesn’t support...

you are not responsible for the bones threatening to spill out.

Some say don't fear while others fret
On all of the happenings 
We've struck a match to our past

"Now the house we've built is burning" 

Our forefathers built with blood, sweat, and tears
The foundation we have here
Well into two hundred years 

"What lessons are we learning"...

    when accused of blither-blather
      seek shelter in the moment, rather
    than plunge right in confrontationally
      into a bottomless pit of calumny

    remember to count to...

War if fought by those who have firm ideas
By those who are inflexible
Those who have never lived on the streets

We stand up to set the world on fire
To make her think
To open her horizons

War is fought by those with dogmas
That encourage young women to wear...

Poet Soul on Fire 

Fill your page till it is no longer white!
An overwhelming tsunami painting for others, 
Words you pray, which have meaning..feeling.
At last, you breathe total satisfaction.
It is now utterly complete!
You sit, waiting to see if another can relate.
Oh, Lord,what shall be...

** A Poetry Avalanche **

Goodness! Lord!
I’m on a roll this morning!
The poetry keeps coming —
  nearly torturing!
My keypad arm and fingers are
  alrady so tired…
It’s as if 
The address of poetry were
On fire!
— With every poem present there
   retreating
From the inspirations...
