Scorched My Heart
You scorched my heart.
In small corners laughter lives
light phrases that dance through
dark
places
illuminated

Self Scorched Selflessly
suns smutty shadow still
symphonically shouting silently
self scorched selflessly

Scorched Earth
I can feel this heartbeat, gentle rhythm deep
under my feet, I can feel the blood seep…
I keep it clean, I can feel the scorched earth weep,
what have we done Dear God, this earth reeks…
are the Kings playing for the throne
as the destruction is nigh, the media alight
I can feel this misplace...

Scorched Earth
I see the expanse now,
I see the expense now,
How we expand now,
The sun never sets on Empire,
Pitted, packed dry-cake gully
Sere, stolid waiting the return
Of precipitation
The dearth of rain
Brings Earth her pain
until
The dead creeks rejuvenation,
There’s anticipation of CROAKS, HUMS,
TWEETS, CHIRPS,
That never come,
Reign in your expectations

Scorched Soul
Many scars thru this journey
I'm just trying to be free
Many lessons learned poorly
Have shaped the worlds view of me
I have never claimed perfection
And my flaws are mine alone to bear
Many have disowned me
Many just don't care
I feel the burning in my soul
Some memories are a curse
Will I be judged by those who hate me
Or will...

Scorched
Without a fire in winter months, I trust
my lips, if pressed upon your cheek, could chill
the blood. But as our eyes meet and combust,
my kiss will burn a path, ignite a thrill
to scorch your skin with passion blazing long.
As suitors meet and nerve ends rage with fire,
as dreams are built on hope for love of...

Scorched Quilts
I take in a sunny day is like a tiny season, reading a bedtime story, while tucking the sky, lifting holy cover out of the heaven sky, angels sowed throughout the quilts, a scorch warming beams down, a blazing substantial temperature over the earth's ground.

Scorched Valentine
Scorched Valentine
Lo, behold those cheeks
Beside thee, dear, roses pale
Red, red, oh so red!
Found you, love, when day was done
Gone to sleep ‘neath mountain sun

Scorched Eyeballs
Your raging hot poems are so very nice.
To prevent eye damage and not pay the price.
I have to use "shades" if read more than twice.
The screen starts to smoking, when I click up your work.
And when I start drooling, I feel...

Scorched
You tempted and played with fire..
You were warned you would get burnt.
Now your scars are a constant reminder..
Of the lessons that you learnt.
You were fooled by your hearts desire..
Said you were somewhere that you weren't.
And chose to betray a friendship..
And to this I have now learnt.
You are now branded as a liar..
You can not extinguish...

Scorched Eyes On You Rondine
Scorched eyes on you,
burned by the sound of your promise;
Never again in your abyss;
You speak and it is right on cue
but what I see is what you do;
It’s a whole lot of hit or miss;
Scorched eyes on you;
Case and the truth you will accrue,
there is nothing you can dismiss;
Stay...

Scorched and Singed
Yesterday
I cried my heart out
For I wept tears of glass
To lay a path for you to walk on
Barefoot on the hot pavement
naked as I bleed
In the hopes that you won’t taste my fear
Teeming with anger and hatred
As I stood with a clenched fist.
hot coals in my palm
Ready to unfurl
Shoulders hunched, grasping at...

A Heart Scorched
Stab me
Beat me
Shoot me
And I bleed
But that’s nothing compared to what I feel now
You’ve taken my heart
And lit it ablaze
Scorching it until it crumbles
How can you do this to me
I was in love with you
I had fallen for you
And I told you about it
Yet you took my heart
And did everything to destroy it
Its in your...
