She feels the need rising up from her core
Ever waiting to burst into fire
Insatiable, always in need for more

Smoldering ember of her desire 
Orange heat pulsating from deep within
Ever waiting to burst into fire

No breeze can cool this, her hot searing skin
Savage her need to combust into flame
Orange heat pulsating from deep within 

Her galloping passion wild and not tame
She rides fiery flares all through the night
Savage her need to combust into flame

The hunger in her eyes makes him ignite
She pulls him into her internal blaze
She rides fiery flares all through the night

His body kindling that lights in her gaze
She feels the need rising up from her core
She pulls him into the internal blaze
Insatiable, always in need of more

Our Smoldering Factory Town

Our Smoldering Factory Town
free trade, a brick around
It’s gurgling, swollen neck. Surrounding
gray quiet smolder, evokes, 
Once thriving factory smoke
A Crumbling horoscope
once paid it's worker's, soaked
in quiet desperation.
We are it's rusty antiques
sinking ships on outsourced seas
a swollen, bailout casualty
a fallow field, a dustbowl breeze
While children sew our sneakers
In bananna sweatshops, cheaper
hands can make, children's fate
wont matter, they'll dig deeper.


Eyes Smoldering

Drunk, and his eyes smoldering,
and that’s what she hated,
drinking and he became a monster alcohol created,
he rammed into her,
a string of spit,
after the hit,
stretched across his mouth,
then he struck her again,
he was a total disgrace,
backhanded her across the face,
she felt his rage and heat,
her knees buckled,
but somehow she managed to stay on her feet,
he sensed her fear,
as he grabbed her hair,
pulled her down,
ignored the sounds
as she hit the ground,
his fist pulled back,
and on with his attack,
he struck her again and again,
and once more,
as her blood stained the floor,
her mouth swollen and bleeding,
as he ignored the pleading,
she was his wife,
but she had no more strength
to plead for her life.

Frozen Smoldering Ashes

I think I just experienced first hand
Consciousness
Cradled in the bosom of epiphany 
Inspiration expunged from my fathers naval wake up call 
Calling all hands on deck make a break
My call to arms each day
Formative dream educed sleep filled eyes oh sound awake 
Was our lesson this
So long as we power the will to awake 
We have been gifted the opportunity this day again
The chance to make our wrongs right 
I don’t believe tomorrow comes furnished with any guarantee 
Maybe just maybe today be my end of days 
The moment fate hath predetermined
Today to late yesterday spurned 
Departing such sweet sorrow
Non the wiser
Lesson not learned
Humilities bridge burned 
Reduced all but to a desolate bed of frozen smouldering ashes
The End

Smoldering Look

V enus arrives on shore graciously in a shell
E asily carried by breadth the sun gods expel
N ymphs greet her with a rich purple cloak
U ndulating roses their seed heads shook
S he covers her modesty with a smoldering look


Darkly Smoldering Allies

Darkness and I have become allies,

 affinity by association's shadowed prayer

     spoken of the same kindred language,

consanguinity in our devout appeal

  of blackening night's smoky exposure,

like a coke whore I obligingly snort it

doomed to partake in a dreadful flight

    upon an impeding raven's blighted sojourn  

  midway extravagances of destructive somber ruins,

obscurity's sulphurous gloom of unsung melodies 

       surrendered in silence 'midst dusky moonlit spirits

Smoldering Heat

the candlelight in your eyes
quickens my breath
excites me, invites me
to taste your sweet lips

your smoldering heat
lights a flaming fire in me
that only your embrace
can quench

two hearts 
coming together
for a hot moment
beating as one

Smoldering Pasts

My, heart pours out to my Love 
A love of today, 
Helping to close the books of yesteryear 
Bad loves, heart ripping past 
Watching my heart break in the worst way 
Now a Prince on a White Stallion has come for this broken soul

One clocked year of healing 
Growing inside and learning the feelings of hate 
To walk away from a past that, is now forgotten 
Learning all new and forgetting all the old 
Looking into your eyes my Prince 
Seeing the Love, togetherness, passion and devotedness

With this new calendar, we start as one 
Sharing feelings, ideals and passions 
My, thoughts are of you daily 
Never a day passes where you are not on my mind 
I, glance at your picture wishing you were here 
Waiting for the time when you come home

A life once lost, has been found 
A love once lost, is found 
A woman that has lost her will, has once again found it 
A life of degradation is now but a memory 
A life of Love and passion is now here upon us 
A time to celebrate the today, now and the future

Smoldering Thoughts

Rings of smoke drift out
                            from the chimney of my mind 
                                                               and souls fireplace.

Premium Member glossaries

My dreams are glossaries of his charms and virtues
More than those things that Santa can bring.

The curl of his lips
their sweet flavor
and his molesting appreciations

If you feel sweet rhapsodies, are they imagined?

But just as the light of bright stars recede
and interstellar constellations wither
memories of dream-state passions fade.

Not that the spheres of their collateral radiance wilts -
in recounting those subconscious tempest smolderings
- we hold them tenderly in our favors.

Premium Member Smoldering Fervor

A little spark of dalliance bursts a humongous flame,

         now it's white-hot passion growing too wild to tame

Smoldering

Women contaminating unborn children
With killer lungs
Slowly became our unwanted deceptive profit
And yet will clearly continue

A Smoldering Refrain

Straddling the candle,
  too close to the flame

A fiery benediction,
 —a smoldering refrain

(Grantham New Hampshire: February, 2017)
