Fragment of a Burning
Your voice cuts through my morning thoughts, While coffee grows cold in my hands. I memorize each word you speak— How foolish love can make demands. You mention rain and subway delays, Small troubles that fill up your day. I turn them into precious things, Though you mean nothing that you say. My friends show pictures of their dates, While I rehearse what I...

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...

Premium Member Burning Twelve Times Bright
"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...

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...

Love can be a fire raging out of your control With passion leaping higher everyday. Love can be a candle in the darkness of a soul, Just enough to help you on your way. Over years, too many tears will drown out any flame. Perhaps you can re-light it but it’s never quite the same. If you want your love to...

The Smell of Burning Socks
It fell too fast. What could they do? It crumbled the walls. Where could they hide? They look up and see the gaze of this spiraling eye with death inside. Now all that’s left is a broken chair never to see how it tilts and rocks. A far memory of the lives we had And the faint smell of burning socks. ...
