Soul'd Out
Guess I'm soul searching she's on my mind with a heart that is hurting must have been blind I wander these streets where we walked together but places we'd meet are now stranger than ever I think of those days gone by and can't help but wonder why I'm tossing and turning time on my hands with a heart that is burning...

What blooms after burning
She was a field– soft, wide, aching. He was the match, small but hungry. They met not in spring, but in that breathless hush before things grow– where hope is still half-buried beneath frost. She held the rain like a secret. He wore the fire like a promise He never meant to keep. She broke without a sound He burned like it was prayer. and yet– in the blackened soil, something...

Fragment of a Burning
Your voice cuts through steam from my cup. I count the seconds between each word, save the way you pause before saying rain. Three weeks of coffee shop mornings— your shoulders slump deeper when you mention deadlines. I memorize this angle, how your jacket pulls at the seams. Today you ask about my weekend, folding a blue shirt corner to corner. I practice saying "maybe" but my throat closes like...

Gaslight Me
Gaslight, Burn open the scouring flame, Watch it whisper and call my name, The flame burning bright, Tremble in the night, Burn the place where we once used to be, For only we can ever see, The fire of dawn, Seeks a familiar call, Singing a yet so far song, To gag the man, And keep his tongue tied, To feel the burn, On the woman's thigh, To become...

Burning Love
I want you so bad, So bad that it’s burning a hole through my heart, Right through the middle, I want you to fill that hole. I love the little things you do, The things that make me smile, Like the way you look at me, Or when you call me late at night. I want you more than anything, We are getting reunited...

"When stars align, and you're on track, she's all signs of the Zodiac" ~ the author, after a twelve-pack If in your heart (a paradise) I'd delve, 'twould multiply my love for you by twelve. I would be declared by any jury completely mad, in a trice or hurry. Your voice rings in a dulcet twelve-tone scale. Your eyes enchant...

Burning Sandalwood
In a ever expanding vast , dense,dark ,wild forest, crooked ,cracked,bent trees, which provide shade ,bearing fruits venomous ,with roots rotten deep down and spreading to its offshoots. In the midst ,lies a sandalwood, spreading enchanting fragrance without acknowledging its inner essence and withering away for those ugly,huge trees. Every tree,offshoot and grass boasted about their greatness, wallowing in their super ego mocking,inflicting pain on the sandalwood tree. Stood in silence,bearing all...

Premium Member In a world burning under the weight of its own infernality
In a world burning under the weight of its own infernality, Empty words destroy suffering like a lost art. Those who write only for applause and hollow idols birth dead phrases, Devoid of pulse and blood, fragile facades of pure expression. True writing is an exorcism, a confrontation with the depths of the soul, Not a begging for validation, but...

Premium Member boxes are for burning
We get approximately three boxes a day in deliveries My husband is the ultimate order-machine He takes more stuff back than most people order I am sure UPS knows his name now These boxes stack up on couches, the back of a bookshelf, Beds, chairs, tables, and other not-for-boxes-places When I get tired of them, I burn them in a huge...

Premium Member Burning yearning
Our soul invoked a divine scent, the wafting breeze, it came and went, renewing at will, love’s bliss tease, which when faded, made heart lament. We wish this rapture does not cease but angels dance as they do please, caging us in the after-burn, longing from which there’s no release. Here now within mind-body urn, toroidal currents make nodes churn and as pheromones so mingle, touch...
