The petulant midday sun
Raging, blazing, vindictive orbit at its zenith
It's blinding glare, a white hot disc
Scorching and oppressive
Over the earth and living ones
A merciless sentinel in the cerulean sky
Wrapping us in its stifling embrace
A shimmering mirage dancing in the air.

Flames licked the dumpster on First Avenue
Firemen arrived, so did the men in blue
Four vagrants were all aghast
Burned to a crisp, their repast
They'd fired up the bin for a barbeque

blazing fusion
liquid water
tidal forces
three heavenly bodies
give rise to one

My days and nights merge strangely into one
The waning moon transforms to blazing sun,
and time no longer means a single thing
My sanity has flown on tempter's wing
I see the world in muted shades of grey
My words get tangled up each time I pray
My thoughts are lost inside an endless maze
I walk from room to room in silent daze
The meaning of existence murky still
No dogma and no creed the void can fill
There's only Christ; the rest is circumstance
That afterlife exists, I'll take the chance
I count the moments of each passing day,
and try to make it through them, come what may
They say its darkest just before the dawn
Before the sun appears, my hope is gone
This world, this place, this room is just a tomb
I lie enshrouded here in cloths of gloom
Oblivion will keep me company
Till resurrection day, don't look for me.

For this you see I'm falling asleep;
On these the golden fields;
Beneath the sun above the clouds;
Silent rises beset noise;
Congregational life praise hands loud;
Dawning glories burdens poise;
Shouts of jubilee roars;
Like a lion on his prowl;
Nursing timid giraffes soars;
Leap forth over gall they scowl;
==Jungle path nature grazing
Sun bright shine in lions hazing--

By your ink on this parchment, my thoughts tattooed
I'm drawn to this bouquet; I am left so madly.
Fields of blazing stars, lying randomly, strewed
Happiest are these thoughts deliberately construed.
Winter taking them from my core destroys me, sadly.
By your ink on this parchment, my thoughts tattooed
Purple pillars of violently swaying happiness imbue
So I harvest them as fast as I can, enjoying them gladly.
Fields of blazing stars, lying randomly, strewed
After such a long time between blossoms, histories accrued.
I waited patiently for their replacement, so very badly.
By your ink on this parchment, my thoughts tattooed
I felt the truest of forlorn, nearly left lifelessly blued.
Springtime rain brought them back to my welcoming hands, comradely.
Fields of blazing stars, lying randomly, strewed
Once I found eyes on them, new happiness did exude.
Replenishing their hearts energy regrown in me
By your ink on this parchment, my thoughts tattooed
Fields of blazing stars, lying randomly, strewed

Hillsides were ablaze
from sunlight's saffron fingers
Leaves fell like raindrops
from branches of ancient trees
What a stunning Autumn scene

but no one has ever done that before!
This inspired her like no other words could have
she knew now to follow her heart
and do it for her own self and the sake of others

Like a blazing current
She charged through life
Creating an earthquake
Enticing everything down
Electricity ignites like fire
Crackling bright flame
At a pace ever-flowing
Molding together as one
Unfolds another chapter
Verses yet to be heard
Crafting a new journey
No end, no beginning, eternally

First hope in a radar screen
A golden cup of dreams
in your schemes
in the scent of light
A mirror reflection of petrified time
A way to live
A way to die
A way to love
and also lie
The rain falls low
The wind rides high
the sun blazing bright
the eagle soars

Castanets blazing, she twists the dress in dangerous ways
Feeling eyes on her, she is compelled to be a bit more provocative
I keep silent that she is my mother

A celestial season in the sky
sun's rays pierce clouds on high
Trails blazing, magenta-tint orange
Mikado performance, amplified
by peeks at the bluest backdrops
framing majestic sundrops ...
when suddenly, to my dismay
bright colors fade ~ all is gray

My heart aches for you
But my anxiety screams louder than it ever has before
I crave someone to hold, to long for
But what if this closure creates a wild fire
I love so passionately
I love so hard
I don't want to scare you, I'm already scaring myself
I've stopped writing poetry and just started writing my fears
All my fears past and present and future
What is a solid definition of poetry
But to write out whatever horrible beast in my head and heart howls
I'm so afraid to burn you with my blazing heart
How can you set my very soul on fire if I've done it already

On a page, I'm designing a little nursery.
It will typically be a splendid moon.
Dreams I'm putting to witness bursary.
The space portrays a pearl, strewn.
The trail winds its way to this point.
Each day I assess my plant's progress.
Such as the gleaming white anoint.
Radiant as the full moon's keenness.
You bring forth my sheerest strength.
I overfeed them till they reach maturity.
Like I come upon a pearl in the depth.
Joyous colors reveal a touch of clarity.
But have acquired a wind and flown.
Believe your spirit will be revived.
I'm still sowing poetry, yet age has grown.
To sustain a nice cuddle for you're altered.
A far source of fuel with words I lack.
With love and faith, you're on a deft track.
