a r~a~g~i~n~g beast that r~o~a~r~e~d loud through dry grasslands
e~m~b~l~a~z~o~n~e~d just like sunlight rays in forested ~s~e~a~s~
a glowing friend who radiates love's embrace
a relentless enemy that rides on a wild horse
a beacon of hope that beams brilliant stories
for darkness to gleam and for b.r.i.g.h.t.n.e.s.s to awaken
a fierce warrior who pierces the dark night unscathed
yet still consumes the trees whole
in its vastness, water bows
the golden orange-red glove worn by darkness
when sojourning through a borderless furnace
yet b~u~r~n~i~n~g—like blue b.l.a.z.e.s
it still cooks the meals
that kitchens conjure
and still b~u~r~n~s grubs to a-s-h-e-s
when eyes s~l~e~e~p and noses go on vacation
we kneel for it to conflagrate better as a friend
than to stir with eyes as s.c.a.r.y as being trapped in a dark tunnel—
but in life's sojourn,
we can't but still welcome its f.i.e.r.y flavors...

The world's on fire and the news is despair
Stench of the apocalypse fills the air
Racial tensions, border disputes and cultural crusade
Immigration, separation, seems 'tis a bed we remade
Demonstrate into conflagrate, identity theft makes the rounds
And social media allows opinions without grounds
Shooting up each other, our school's new lesson
Now we can conceal without license that Smith & Wesson
Pick your country, seems most are headlining the ill
Now more than ever we need a stronger will
With even weather being threatened I wonder if we can weather
This generational discontent that we've fostered forever

The roar of the raging seas
The tinkling of sonorous bells
The sweet manipulation of thousand voilins
The running waves of gushing liquids
The buzzing of happy bees,
The thunderous sound from the bare clouds
The voices of the infinite celestials
Bite us O wisdom!
Infest our minds with rich testimonies of words
Conflagrate our imaginative powers
Mystify the sacredness of our poetical voices
Grind our rough lines smooth and perfect
Elevate our positions in the lyrical universe
Control our feeble fingers as we ink through the wilderness of distorted valleys
Let our inner eyes behold quality pictures in the gallery of obscure realms
We magnetize and Immortalize
Our true symbol of poetism.
Amen!

Adorable, descriptive of a love divine,
Beguiling smile the emblem of a hallowed shrine,
Communication symbolised a sacred sign,
Diamond eyes, the stars above forever shine.
Entrancing, sweetest perfume on the warmest night,
Foretelling greater futures with a second sight,
Gorgeous in the breaking of the dawning light,
Honesty igniting, true and burning bright..
Incomparable to any other living thing,
Justified by gifts to either take or bring,
Key to every secret wish or wondering,
Lovely as the fertile days of virgin spring.
Mellow as the midnight jazz or bourbon blues,
Never to be cast away as dead man's shoes,
Only choice conferred without a will to choose,
Perfect spark to conflagrate the latent fuse.
Qualitative beauty formed demure and fair,
Ravishing crusader crushing bleak despair,
Satisfying every dream beyond compare,
Tenacity and tender ever-loving care.
Unity with all there is to see and show,
Vivacity of life bequeathed to breathe and grow,
Wondrous as each complicated flake of snow,
Xanadu would never stand or stoop to know
Yearning such as this emotion crystallise,
Zenith of the urge to touch the very skies...
