Enflamed Poems | Examples

I have loved and been loved, floating on ivory wings of white and pure dreams

I have loved and been loved, floating on ivory wings of white and pure dreams,
traveling through sapphire skies where scarlet ecstasy calls to me in secret,
touching silver stars that shine like the hidden desires of the heart,
feeling the silky, golden, and lilac joy enveloping my harlequin heart,
melting under orange delights that whisper tales of longing,
each touch bringing a new explosion of colors on my enflamed skin,
lifted by sensual waves carrying me to realms of unknown desires,
daring waves coursing through my soul with a gentle yet intense force,
carried by the waves of a sea of passion revealing its deep secrets to me,
on a journey of senses where colors blend into an eternal dance.

Dark Sustenance

Homeless 
enflamed   
in the alleyway
food 
their main concern

Love
someone else’s
mystery
hunger’s infliction 
— to burn

The Market Rasen Witch - Lincolnshire Folklore

upon the Rase a troublesome crone
who meddled in the Rasen folk 
for she a witch!
a witch! their slant and well
she laid upon a cow a cursied blight
a cursied spell 
and lo would not this neighbour’s cow
go to the milking parlour so
this neighbour’s daughter fraught and fair
to seek a wise man, she that hour
left in haste to hear of words 
and met with him though quite by chance
for he appeared to her when needed
invited in somewhat expected
and knew did he of her unrest
as heating in the fireplace a red hot poker
readying
and stoked, enflamed the fire roared
and from by the Rase the witch was heard
to scream and cry
you see now in her weakened state 
another troubled Rasener 
took heed upon the lowered crone
and struck her hand with a blade had he
and brought to her all of her eves
that drew the blood of taintedness
and scream once more 
then again made three
no more trouble will she cause
said the wiseman confidently
and the witch skulked away
her powers lost
made free were then the Rasen folk
and the cow went in to give them milk

Arson Noir

An affectatious arsonist announced,
“Big buildings’ burning brilliance brightens best!”
casually cites conflagration counts,
darkly deals destruction, designer-dressed.

Extinguishing each edifice enflamed,
first-rate forensic findings frequent failed.
Grievous, grim goings, ‘geniously gamed;
Hurried happenings, hastily high-tailed.

Incendiary incidents ignite 
jewel-filled junkets, jazzed jalopy jaunts.
Kindling’s kittling kiss: knave’s known kryptonite,
Lapping, leaping licks, luscious, lit lavants.

Madness! Marauding mercilessly more,
Nefarious, nursing next novel noir.

kittle - birth, excitement
lavant - old English, stream

Oh My Sweet Lord

Orange fire-blazoned indigo sky
crackling the night’s desperate cry,
leaving the hot wind’s breath pursy.
Oh my sweet Lord, please have mercy.

Rising flames painted the dawn’s light,
no oasis, no ease in sight,
leaving the barren earth thirsty.
Oh my sweet Lord, please have mercy

Night fell with enflamed full moon.
Both flora and fauna fell swoon,
corporeal controversy.	
Oh my sweet Lord, please have mercy.

Abundant water covered the night
granting reprieve from parching blight,
reviving life; bear gramercy.
Thank the sweet Lord for His mercy.

Dragon

I am the Dragon.
I purge the world of evil.
My name is enflamed.

Old Age Creeps Up On Sam

 
On Sam Adam’s 66th birthday
He felt old and run down
Just felt burned out
His body worn out
His vision fading
His hearing shot
His teeth aching
His back enflamed
He felt the breath
Of the coming of the end
The end of life
Coming for us all
As we age
And wait for death’s final embrace
Ending the pain of living
With pain every day.

She Burns Brightly

 Conflagration 
in the void,
churning, 
turning,
an ebullient life.

Gaia boils
with frustration,
self-actualization
on a flaming scale;
a Deva enflamed,
still destruction’s
curtailed.

Name nailed
in the cosmos,
she prevails;
light years
dare not erase
her sacred face.

God’s other child,
spinning wild,
dervish pyre;
sits in splendor.
this enlightened 
wily cosmological
lantern.

Her passion burns
amid the churns;
some day
she will burn out;
white dwarf
afloat
in a metaphysical 
sea.

Subtle Seduction

octobre slinks forth
        relinquishing heat-scorched earth ~
                salacious summer

enflamed leaves embracing
        dalliance with wilder winds ~
		erotic fall tryst

hoary trees exposed
        brazenly displayed bosom ~
                scandalous winter

new bulbs gamboling
         commoved carefree canoodling ~
		warm sassy spring

Weeping and Trepidation

Copious tears flowed gently in the dire disaster 
                            but we're not in brutal excess.
Doom occurs precisely in a proper time 
                                when subtlety is humorless.
Fierce passion, o heart, gaily 
                            decorates your soul brightness.
And we are inseparably united 
                                         in our wistful sadness.
However, my conscious mind is 
                        precisely a vacuum-sealed recess.
Who merely performs reliably 
                     exquisite poetry for the curiousness.
Querying anxiously, he has enflamed 
                   the dear heart of eternal nothingness.
Feasibly my vital burning has been 
                                quenched for untold sadness.

Of Love and You

Like the stars whose sparkle then must disappear
Swallowed by the far abyss of the night sky
So lies my heart in a blanket of evening hours
Of you and stars, and love

Like the moon whose twilight adorns then disappears
While night streams nigh encircling dreams
Til’ heaven’s love light surrounds each silhouette
Of you and moons, and love

Like the Sun majestically ascends then disappears
To bring sweet passions heat to soar enflamed
In the arms of fragrant flowers bloom finding beauty 
Of you and sun, and love

Psycho Cat - It

Psycho Cat - IT

"In my sabbatical dreams after quarantine"
Visions of life run again at full steam
A little stiff, a bit arthritic, like
"The eerie board walk creaks near the beach of white sand"
Shifting on trails in forests of shadows
Moaning an elegy – enflamed eulogy -
"When they told me of psycho cat’s demise"
A sad voice of aching news, realized 
Not really a psycho, just catnip crazed,
Leaping in stagger – last of her nine lives -
While "the label, I hide, on the wine bottle"
Too many reminders of the passing
Of psycho cats in quarantine - alive 
In my sabbatical dreams quarantined.

A Gentleman's Game

Baseball used to be a gentleman's game
Umps eject players at will, game's not the same
The f-word is used
It can't be excused
Baseball is becoming a lot more enflamed

She Burns Brightly

Conflagration 
in the void,
churning, 
turning,
an ebullient life.

Gaia boils
with frustration,
self-actualization
on a flaming scale;
a Deva enflamed,
still destruction’s
curtailed.

Name nailed
in the cosmos,
she prevails;
light years
dare not erase
her sacred face.

God’s other child,
spinning wild,
dervish pyre;
sits in splendor.
this enlightened 
wily cosmological
lantern.

Her passion burns
amid the churns;
some day
she will burn out;
white dwarf
afloat
in a metaphysical 
sea.
