One in belief, one in spirit, others just took in the information, but had no inclination. World was burning with information, growing into a...

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...
